After Dinner (Possibly Ross Winans) (from Sketchbook)

James McNeill Whistler

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketchbook page with four sketches. The top left sketch shows two people on horseback and one person standing with a spear or pole. The top right sketch shows a man smoking a pipe, with the words "After Dinner" written below. The bottom left sketch shows a group of people in old-fashioned dress with one person in the center with a spear. The bottom right sketch shows a man in a top hat and long dress or coat. The sketches are drawn in pencil and appear to be studies or practice drawings. The page is torn and worn, with rough edges and some text written in pencil.
