Baby with a Toy Horse (from Sketchbook)

Francis William Edmonds

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Pencil sketch on paper of a young child sitting on a chair, wearing a dress and holding a whip, with a toy horse on wheels attached to a string. The child has short hair and sits on a four-legged chair with curved legs. The toy horse stands on three wheels, with two in back and one in front. The horse has a long tail and ears pointed up. The background of the sketch is plain. The sketch appears to be in a sketchbook with a black cover.
