(Study of a Soldier with Gun
1895–1899

A sketch of a man in profile walking to the right, wearing a tall hat, a double-breasted coat, and high boots, carrying what appears to be a rifle or shotgun at his side. The drawing is done in black ink on a beige paper background, with the figure positioned slightly to the right of the center. The style is loose and expressive, capturing the essence of the character with minimal lines.
