Village Square with Figures, Doune, Scotland (?) (from Cropsey Album)

Jasper Francis Cropsey

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a village square. Multi-story buildings with many windows and steeply pitched roofs line the square. Two people are on the left and three people are on the right. Two horses pull a cart in the center. The buildings are drawn with a range of shading to create depth. The sketch is on textured paper with many speckles. A date is written in the bottom right corner: Aug. 28 1875.
