(Study of a Monk and Knight Meeting)
1895–1899

A hand-drawn sketch on a beige paper depicting a medieval scene with two characters: on the left, a monk holding a staff and an open book, and on the right, a knight in armor carrying a sword and shield, with a plume on his helmet. The style is simplistic with an emphasis on outlines and minimal shading.
