His calm face seems almost startlingly undisturbed against the passing turmoil. Handsome and plump, he carries the unhurried ease of someone enclosed in the comforts of rank, while six gray horses announce his arrival before he says a word.

This unnamed marshal appears in a carriage drawn by six gray horses, his tranquil expression set against the unsettled world around him. Tolstoy marks him by his handsome, plump, white face but offers no name or personal history. He remains a fleeting image of authority and composure rather than a developed character.
Description
The marshal has a handsome, plump face described as white, with a tranquil look. His height, overall build beyond his plumpness, hair, eyes, age, and clothing are not specified. He is encountered in the visual frame of a carriage drawn by six gray horses, and his most distinct impression is one of calm, polished presence.
