Charles Demuth

Two Sailors Urinating
1930

A sketch on tan paper depicting two figures standing side by side, both wearing berets and loose-fitting clothing. The figure on the left is shown in a three-quarter view with one hand on the hip and the other hanging down, while the figure on the right is in profile with both hands behind the back. The lines are loose and appear to be drawn with a pencil or charcoal, capturing the essence of the figures' postures and attire.
