Two Figures (from Sketchbook X)

William Trost Richards

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a sketch of two figures on a white piece of paper. The paper is rectangular and slightly off-center, with the long side horizontal. A thin black line runs along the bottom edge. Three small holes are punched along the right edge. A faint pencil sketch of two people is in the center-left. The person on the left appears to be sitting and facing right, while the person on the right appears to be leaning over, possibly sitting or kneeling. The background behind the paper is solid white.
