Untitled (Studies of 8 Civil War soldiers)

Several of these figure studies, including the mounted figure on the verso, relate directly to figures that appear in Wyeth's paintings for The Long Roll by Mary Johnston (Houghton Mifflin, 1911). The figure in the lower right, for example, relates to the figure in The Vedette (NCW 21). The sheet is a piece of stationery, as the beginning of a letter to Scribner's art editor Joseph H. Chapin on the reverse makes clear.
