Studies of Generals Plumer and Haig for "General Officers of World War I" [recto]

John Singer Sargent

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two full-body drawings of people standing upright. The person on the left is sketched with a slightly turned body position, holding a hat in their right hand, and wears a military-style uniform that includes a long-sleeved jacket, trousers, and a belt. The facial features are not detailed and appear as a basic outline, while the hair is short. The person on the right is also in a standing position with legs slightly apart, holding what seems to be a document or rolled paper in their left hand. This figure is also dressed in a military uniform with a long-sleeved jacket, trousers, and a belt. The facial features of this drawing are minimally detailed, and the hair is short. The background is a plain, neutral space with the canvas showing a slightly aged appearance.
