Sketchbook, page 15: Study of a Soldier

Ernest Meissonier

Cleveland Museum of Art

A pencil sketch on aged paper of a man facing right with head slightly bowed. He wears a top hat and a military-style uniform with short sleeves and slacks. A strap crosses his chest. His left arm bends at the elbow and rests on his hip. A hat hangs from his right hand which hangs at shoulder height. The paper is off-white with darker edges and spots of discoloration. A number 15 appears in the bottom-left corner.
