Study of Two Soldiers

Théodore Géricault

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image features a pencil sketch of two men on a beige, aged paper background, created by Théodore Géricault. The man on the left is drawn from the neck up, wearing a flat hat and a high-collared jacket. The man on the right is drawn from the waist up, with curly hair, wearing a jacket with buttons down the front and an epaulet on his left shoulder, and his hands are on his hips. The sketch of the man on the right is less detailed than the one on the left. The paper has a rough texture and appears to be yellowed with age, with some darker spots and a small tear in the upper-left corner.
