Mother and Child; Portrait of a Woman, Battlefield Scene (from Sketchbook)
Black and white sketch on gray paper. A central rectangular sketch depicts a woman holding a child. The woman has curly dark hair, a light-colored dress or top, and a dark shawl or jacket. She looks down at the child. The child sits on her lap, with their back to her chest and their head turned. The rectangular sketch is shaded with dark strokes behind and to the left. Below the main sketch are several small, quickly drawn figures in various poses, some sitting or standing and interacting. To the right of the main sketch is a faint, incomplete sketch of a seated figure. The paper has rough edges.
