He is dragging a large white bag full of looted items, and is carrying several brass candlsticks and other objects, possibly garments. There is an umbrella lying at his feet. The soldier is walking on a cobbled road next to a stone wall and is looking back over his shoulder at the viewer. Signed at bottom left by the artist, "Harvey Dunn, AEF"
