Warrior figures from the rear and front 1897

This pencil sketch by Ferdinand Hodler, titled "Warrior figures from the rear and front", is a study of the human figure in motion. Created in 1897, the drawing depicts three figures, one from the front and two from the rear, with a focus on the lower body and its articulation. Hodler, known for his contributions to Symbolism and Art Nouveau, was fascinated by the human form and sought to capture its dynamism and vitality. This study likely served as preparation for a larger work and showcases Hodler's ability to express anatomical detail and movement with simple lines.
