Drapery Study; Two Figures Pulling a Pole

John Singleton Copley

Cleveland Museum of Art

Gray paper with rough edges, featuring three pencil sketches. On the left, a seated figure wearing a draped cloth, with their right arm raised. On the right, two figures pulling a pole: one standing and one jumping or falling, both with their arms raised. The standing figure on the right is less detailed than the others. The sketches appear to be studies of drapery and movement. The overall composition is simple, with minimal background.
