This drawing, titled "Pulling Soldiers" by Swiss artist Ferdinand Hodler, is a dynamic and expressive sketch from 1908. The artwork features a gestural style, with bold, sweeping lines depicting a group of figures in motion. The composition is characterized by a sense of urgency and energy, as the figures appear to be pulling or dragging something, suggesting a narrative of effort and struggle. The use of dark, heavy lines against a lighter background creates a strong contrast and emphasizes the movement of the figures. Hodler's "Pulling Soldiers" is a compelling example of his expressive approach to drawing and his ability to capture the essence of movement and emotion through simple yet powerful lines.
