Black and white print depicting a battle scene, with crowds of figures carrying long diagonal pikes or lances dominating the composition; dense, energetic linework fills the foreground with fallen and struggling figures, while trees appear in the upper background.
Ink drawing with rapid, gestural linework depicting two figures lying on the ground in the foreground, with rocky terrain and a multi-story building in the background.
Charcoal or chalk sketch of a billowing cumulus cloud formation on a white ground, rendered with loose, gestural strokes and soft smudged shading to suggest volume and depth.
Charcoal or lithograph drawing of soldiers in spiked helmets advancing in a chaotic crowd, rendered with vigorous dark tonal shading; a figure on horseback dominates the center, with a large dark flag or banner at upper right.
Ink drawing with loose, expressive linework depicting a chaotic outdoor scene: fallen and struggling horse and human figures in the foreground, with rearing horses and bare trees above, diagonal lines suggesting rain or wind.
Black and white ink drawing of a large face occupying most of the composition, with flame-like forms erupting from the top of the head and small human figures scattered across the face and surrounding architectural elements, rendered in bold gestural linework.
