Study No. 15: Vespers

John Copley

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a seated woman holding a baby. The woman has dark hair and wears a long dress with a high neckline and long sleeves. The dress appears to have a fitted bodice and a full skirt. Her legs are covered by the dress, and her feet are not visible. The woman's head is tilted down towards the baby. The baby is swaddled in a cloth and rests on the woman's left arm. The woman's right arm supports the baby's back. The pair sit in a chair with a curved back. The background is a wall with a curtain at the top. The curtain appears to have folds across it. The sketch is on off-white paper. The artist's signature appears at the bottom. The title of the sketch is "Vespers".
