Soldiers Resting (recto); Sketch of a Man with Upraised Arm and Sketch of a Helmet (verso)

Édouard Detaille

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows two pieces of paper side by side. The paper on the left contains a black and white sketch of a group of soldiers resting. A soldier on horseback stands on the left. There are five soldiers sitting or lying down in front of a large stone archway. The archway has a smaller archway in its center. The sketch is done in shades of gray and black on a beige background. The paper on the right is blank except for some small dark spots and a circular stamp in the bottom-right corner. There are two small sketches on the back near the top. One appears to be a man with an upraised arm. The other appears to be a helmet. The paper is beige with darker spots throughout. There is some small writing on the right edge.
