(Sketches of Caricatures)
1892–1895

A sketch on beige paper featuring a variety of characters in different historical and cultural attire. On the left, a figure in a military uniform stands with a hand behind the back, looking at three men in civilian clothes having a conversation. In the center, a man in a kilt and beret plays the bagpipes, next to another man in a plaid cloak and hat holding a sword. On the right, a figure in Asian-style conical hat and robes stands with a shovel. The bottom of the sketch includes isolated studies of heads with various expressions.
