The last of the mercenaries 1931

Paul Klee's "The Last of the Mercenaries" (1931) exemplifies his unique style of abstract art. This watercolor and crayon drawing portrays a figure with a prominent hat, depicted through fragmented geometric shapes and patterns. The artist's use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, while the muted color palette adds to the mysterious and melancholic tone of the work. "The Last of the Mercenaries" is a testament to Klee's fascination with the human figure and his ability to translate it into an abstract language of form and color.
