This image is a busy collage of black-and-white sketches. At the top, soldiers march, ride horses, and wave flags. In the center, a group of men in uniforms hold rifles, their faces serious. One woman in a dress stands with a flag. The bottom has a drum player and a title: *"The Songs of the War."* Notice the mix of music, marching, and war—it’s all tied together. The sketches look like they’re from a magazine, not a single painting. If you like this style, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art.
