Study for "Gil Blas and the Archbishop" (from Sketchbook)
Black and white sketch on white paper with black border. A seated man wearing a robe and hat with the robe draped over his right shoulder and arm resting on a table. The man is leaning forward slightly with his mouth open, and his left hand on his knee. Standing to his right is another man wearing loose-fitting clothing and boots. The standing man has one hand on the seated man's shoulder. The background shows a room with table, chair and some form of architectural features. The sketch appears to be a study for a larger work.
