Caporal et Chemisier

About this work

This sketch shows a man in a long coat and vest, standing tall with one hand on a cane. His hat sits under his arm, and he’s wearing a bow tie. The background is simple—a curtain, a pillar, and a dim room. The title below him, *Caporal et Chemisier*, hints at his double role: maybe a soldier and a clerk. The artist played with sharp lines and shadows to make the figure stand out. If you like this style, check out Realism next.
