Recto: (Sketches of Crouching Figures and Fireman's Helmets)

Verso: Sketches of Sailboat, Figures, and Pen and Ink Line Drawings)

1895–1899

A sketch on a beige paper featuring a series of quick, minimalist drawings. The top half shows four separate outlines of hats, each with varying levels of detail. Below the hats, there are two sketches of figures: one is a profile of a person's head and upper body wearing a helmet, and the other is a more complete sketch of a person in a crouched position, viewed from the side, with emphasis on the outline of the body and minimal facial details. The lines are loose and appear to be drawn with a pen or fine marker.
