About this work

A pen-and-ink drawing shows a swaggering pirate in a wide-brimmed hat and sash, raising a cutlass beside a tattered flag, while a smaller figure fights below on a ship's rigging. The sketch is signed "H. Pyle del." and dated "Studio April 7 1903" in the lower margin, with the title "The Challenge".
