Two Sketches of Interior Scenes (from Sketchbook)

Francis William Edmonds

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a sketchbook page with two interior scene sketches. The page is white with a black border around the edges. The left sketch depicts two people sitting at a table. The person on the left sits and faces right; he has short hair and wears a white shirt. The person on the right stands and faces left; they have hair in a bun and wear a dress. The right sketch depicts at least three people; details are not clear. The background of both sketches appears to be an interior scene. The sketches are done in pencil. The right side of the page is mostly blank.
