Interior Scene with Man Smoking and Woman Pointing (from Sketchbook)

Francis William Edmonds

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white sketch of two people in a room. The woman on the left is standing and pointing her finger. She has short dark hair and wears a long dress with short sleeves and shoes. The man on the right sits in a chair with a pipe in his mouth and his right leg crossed over his left. He wears a collared shirt and pants. A table with a small cup on it is behind him. There is a chair behind the woman. The background shows a wall with some lines suggesting a window. The sketch appears to be done in pencil on paper with some smudges and marks around the edges, and a darker border.
