Study of a Boy (from McGuire Scrapbook)

Black and white sketch of a young boy, viewed from the side, seated and turned slightly to face the viewer. The boy's body faces left; his head turned to look at the viewer. He has short, wavy hair. He wears a collared jacket or coat with a scarf or necktie. Both arms are bent. The right arm is mostly obscured. The left arm's bent position creates a dark triangular shape below the boy's chest. The drawing uses varying line weights and shading, creating texture and depth. The sketch is placed within a rectangular border and on a white background. The artist's signature is visible at the bottom.
