The soldier on the left wears his hat askew and bears a sabre, while the boy on the far right charges forward bearing two pistols.  The man in the top hat with the musket is supposedly the artist himself and stands to the left of the central figure, who stands bare-breasted and holds a musket in one hand and the French tri-color in the other.
