This sheet of sketches, created by Théodore Géricault between 1813 and 1814, showcases the artist's keen eye for detail and his fascination with military subjects. Composed of quick, gestural lines, the drawing depicts soldiers, horses, and a landscape, likely inspired by Géricault's observations of military life during the Napoleonic Wars. The piece exemplifies Géricault's early artistic development, and his skillful use of line, as well as his growing interest in the human figure. Now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, this work serves as a testament to Géricault's artistic journey.
