The Beadle

George Cruikshank

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a sketch of a man's head and shoulders. The man has curly hair and a large nose. He appears to be wearing a collar. The sketch is drawn in pencil and colored with some pink and gray shading. The background of the sketch is a piece of aged paper with a light brown color and rough edges. There are some darker brown spots and lines on the paper. The writing at the top reads "A first sketch for the Beadle in destroying the Congregation". The writing at the bottom appears to read "Geo. Cruikshank".
