Study of Crossed Legs and Man Making a Fist (from Sketchbook)

Francis William Edmonds

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a sketchbook page with two sketches. The left sketch depicts a person's legs crossed at the ankles, with the feet turned outward. The person appears to be sitting down. The right sketch shows a man making a fist with one hand, with the other hand raised and bent at the elbow. The man has short hair and is wearing a collared shirt with a tie. The background of the page is white, with a black border around the edge. There are some smudges and marks on the page, suggesting that it is a study or practice sketch.
