Study for Drum Majorette
c. 1940

A detailed red chalk sketch of a dynamic, baroque-style figure, possibly a warrior or a theatrical character, shown in a spirited pose with one leg raised and an arm extended, wearing a large feathered hat and elaborate, flowing garments. The drawing is executed on a vertically oriented paper with visible horizontal lines, and there are some annotations or markings in the corners.
