Signature, "TH. Nast, Oct. 17, 1901"

Thomas Nast

National Gallery of Art

The image is a sketch of a person from the side view, depicted in mid-air with arms outstretched in front and legs bent behind. The person has simple facial features, spiky hair, and wears a coat and pants. Swirling lines around the figure suggest motion or wind. The background is plain with a signature and date “Thu: Nast, Oct 17, 1901” written to the right of the figure.
