Study for Temple Bailey, "The Emperor's Ghost," Scribner's Magazine, 65 (February 1919), p. 205
1919

A vintage sketch depicts three soldiers in uniform, two of whom are shaking hands in the foreground, with a desolate battlefield in the background. The scene is rendered with expressive lines and shading, capturing a moment of camaraderie amidst the desolation of war. The artist's signature, "E. Hopper," is visible in the lower left corner.
