This image depicts a weathered light-colored stone sculpture of a soldier, standing as part of the Monument aux Morts located in Place du Général de Gaulle, Lens, France. The soldier, rendered from approximately the mid-chest to the feet, is shown in a stoic posture, looking upwards and to the viewer's right. He wears a helmet, a scarf, a long coat, and what appear to be puttees wrapped around his lower legs above substantial boots. A rifle is held vertically, with its stock resting on the ground and its barrel gripped by his left hand, while his right arm is crossed over it. A visible moustache adorns his face. The sculpture itself shows signs of weathering and discoloration, particularly on raised surfaces. The background consists primarily of a pale, overcast sky, with a dark, indistinct architectural element visible on the far right.
