Rustic Figures: Two Boys

Thomas Barker

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a drawing by Thomas Barker titled "Rustic Figures: Two Boys". Two boys are sitting on the ground next to a stump. The boy on the left is wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a loose-fitting shirt. He sits cross-legged and rests his elbow on his knee. He appears to hold something up to his mouth. The boy on the right wears a similar hat and a collared shirt. He sits with his legs tucked under his body and rests his elbow on his knee, and also appears to hold something up to his mouth. A plate with several objects on it rests on the stump beside the boys. The drawing is rendered in dark brown lines on beige paper. A thin black line borders the drawing.
