1878
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Sketch of a Man with Upraised Arm and Sketch of a Helmet (verso) is a 1878 by Édouard Detaille, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This piece of paper has two sketches on it. One is a helmet, and the other is a man's arm raised in the air. The paper is off-white and has some brown stains on it. The sketches are drawn in pencil and are very detailed. The helmet has a lot of intricate designs on it, and the man's arm is drawn in a very realistic way. The paper also has some writing on it, but it's hard to read. If you like this kind of art, you might want to check out the Impressionism movement.
Jean-Baptiste Édouard Detaille (French pronunciation: ; 5 October 1848 – 23 December 1912) was a French academic painter and military artist noted for his precision and realistic detail.
