Study for "Sparking" (from Sketchbook)

Francis William Edmonds

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of two women on a page. The page is white with a black border. The border is thicker at the top and bottom than on the sides. The border is uneven and appears worn. The sketch on the left side shows a woman sitting on the left side of the page. The woman sits in a chair, wearing a long dress and a head covering. Her left hand is on her chin. The woman on the right side of the page sits on a bench or chair with her back to the viewer. The woman on the right appears to be sitting in front of a wall with at least one rectangular object on it. The sketch is drawn in pencil. The right edge of the paper appears to be part of a sketchbook.
