Scene from Literature (from McGuire Scapbook)
Black and white sketch of two shirtless men. The man on the left stands with one leg bent, the other straight. He holds both arms bent across his chest. The man on the right sits on a stool with one leg straight, the other bent. He wears a short-sleeved top with a scarf and holds one arm bent at the elbow. Two partially drawn people stand in the background. Behind them, an ornate frame surrounds a blank rectangle. A carved design tops the frame. The floor appears stone.
