Two Studies of a Dog (from Sketchbook)

Francis William Edmonds

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white sketch of two dogs. A dog on the left sits on its haunches with its front paws raised, looking up and to the right. The dog on the right faces away from the viewer, with its head turned to the left. Both dogs appear to be drawn in pencil. The background of the sketch is white, with faint smudges and marks visible. The sketch is framed by a thin black line.
