This man functions as a pack horse.
The man's abdomen on the right suggests the form of a pack horse.


Note the image of the horse in the man's abdomen is not in the sketch.

(The image overlay of the horse is a clip from a Prang postcard published in 1864, by Winslow Homer, titled "Life in Camp, Water Call")
