Nun Standing, Reading a Book (from Cropsey Album)
Black and white drawing of a woman in a long dress and head covering standing and reading a book. The woman is standing in a three-quarter view facing left. She wears a long, dark dress with puffy sleeves and a neckline that is off the shoulder. A head covering is pulled over her hair and falls down her back. She holds an open book in both hands. The background includes a short brick wall, beyond which are leaves and a column. The drawing appears to have been made on a piece of paper with an uneven, rounded edge. A signature appears at the bottom right.
