Study for Facing the Enemy (from McGuire Scrapbook)

Francis William Edmonds

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a grayscale sketch of a man sitting on a chair. The man has short hair and wears a long-sleeved shirt, pants, and shoes. He sits on a chair with his right leg crossed over his left. His arms are resting on his lap. The man sits facing a table with a bottle on it. The table is rectangular and appears to have a flat top. A cylindrical bottle with a narrow neck and a small object, possibly a glass, are on the table. The background is a plain wall. The floor is also visible. The words "facing the enemy" are written in cursive at the bottom of the image.
