On Sentry Duty is a 1905 by Eugène Delâtre, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
A boy in a striped shirt and dark hat stands by a fence. He holds something small in his hands, looking off to the side. Tall grass and bare trees fill the background, with a fence running along the left edge. The title says *On Sentry Duty*, but he’s not holding a weapon—just a stick or maybe a toy. The drawing looks simple, but the lines are precise, almost like an etching. Look up Eugène Delâtre to see more of his work.
