Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a framed piece of artwork titled "Joffre, père du soldat" by Auguste Louis Lepère. The frame is light green with a thin black line border. Inside the frame, there are four sketches arranged in two rows of two. The top left sketch shows a man in a long coat and hat being supported by a soldier in a helmet and uniform. The top right sketch shows a similar scene with a different background featuring lines suggesting a fence or other structures. The bottom left sketch shows the same scene with more detailed clothing and a landscape in the background. The bottom right sketch shows the same scene with more detailed clothing and a flat background. All sketches feature a man in a long coat being supported by a soldier. The sketches are drawn in black and white with some gray shading. The artwork appears to be a set of studies for a larger piece.
