About this work

This sketch shows four funny cartoon characters on a sheet of paper. A cop is mid-kick, a grumpy old man sits with a pipe, a woman in a black dress holds a blue fan, and a kid in a green dress stands with a basket. The lines are loose and playful, with some color added in crayon and watercolor. The drawing is labeled as "first sketches for a comic series" from 1906. The artist signed it and wrote the date in the corner. Look up Lyonel Feininger next to see more of his early work.
