(Study of a Football Player)
1895–1899

A sketch of a figure in medieval-style armor, featuring a helmet, shoulder guards, and greaves. The drawing is incomplete, with parts of the arms and legs only outlined and not detailed. The figure stands with one hand on the hip, against a background of two sheets of paper, one larger and beige, the other smaller and off-white.
