Bernard Westmacott

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a pencil drawing of a wooden figure resembling a toy soldier with articulated joints. The figure has its arms extended outwards, holding paddle-like objects. The drawing is monochromatic, using different shades of gray to depict the texture and form of the figure. It is positioned upright, slightly facing left, in the center of the image. The artist's signature "Bernard Westmacott" is in the lower right corner, along with a scale for reference.
