This portrait of an ancient soldier is particularly striking for its modernity, it stands out for a very particular style that I have not yet identified.
It is drawn in sanguine on a beautiful old paper. Its watermark allows to date it from the 18th century approximately.
Also the style and the execution evoke the Italian school of this period. Perhaps it is a study for a fresco or a mural of this type.
