Liber Studiorum: Plate 48, A Study

John Sell Cotman

Cleveland Museum of Art

A study of a man wearing a hat and carrying a large bundle on his back and a stick in his hand. The man has a rounded face and is wearing a short jacket, loose-fitting pants, and shoes. The background is a wall with some shading to indicate depth. The image is rendered in black and white with hatching and cross-hatching techniques to create texture and shading. The man faces to the right with his weight on his right leg.
