This sketch shows two quick, loose drawings on the same paper. On the front, a soldier sits in a trench, holding a rifle. The lines are rough, and the brown ink blends into the page. On the back, a woman lies down, her body curved and relaxed, drawn with light, wobbly strokes. The soldier’s face is hidden, and the woman’s features are simple—just a few lines for her hair and smile. The paper looks old, with stains and a postmark in the corner. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this sketch in person.
