Two Men on a Workbench with a Vice (from Sketchbook)

Francis William Edmonds

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of two men in a workshop. The man on the left sits on a workbench with a vice on it, wearing a cap, a buttoned shirt, trousers, and shoes. The man on the right stands beside the workbench, wearing a long-sleeved shirt, trousers, an apron, and a cap. A basket and tools are on the floor. The background shows a brick wall and some indistinct objects. The sketch appears to be drawn in pencil on paper.
