Etching of two warriors on a rocky outcrop, one seated and dozing with a plumed helmet, the other standing behind him in a wide hat and cloak.

Two Warriors, One Seated Asleep on a Rock

An etching in fine hatched lines shows two armed figures in a rocky landscape. A seated man in plumed helmet and cloak leans back on a foreground rock while a standing warrior in a wide-brimmed hat and cloak bends toward him, both wrapped in shadow. The sketchy, loose handwork gives the scene an informal, studied quality.
