Man Pointing and Writing; Man with Arms Folded (from Sketchbook)

Francis William Edmonds

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is a sketch of two men drawn in pencil. The man on the left sits and points with his right hand; his left hand rests on a surface in front of him. He wears a jacket and has short hair. The man on the right sits with his arms crossed; he faces the man on the left. The man on the right also wears a jacket and has short hair. The background of the sketch is white, and the sketch itself appears to be on a page with a black border. The style of the drawing appears to be from the 19th century.
