Gladiator
1895–1899

Sketch of two figures on a beige paper, depicting ancient warriors or gladiators in motion. The figure on the left is shown in profile, running with a short sword in hand and a cape flowing behind. The figure on the right is more detailed, standing on a pedestal labeled "GLADIATOR," holding a shield and a sword, wearing a helmet with a crest, and also draped in a flowing cape. The drawing is executed in a loose, expressive line style.
