This sketch shows two soldiers in uniform, one helping the other walk. The man on the left wears a cap and holds his arm out stiffly, while the man on the right bends over to support him. Their clothes are baggy, and the lines are rough, like quick pencil strokes. The drawing looks like it was made fast, almost like a note from the front lines. The artist signed it "Forain" in the corner, along with a date that looks like 1919. If you want to see more by this artist, check out Forain, Jean-Louis.
