Seated Man Smoking and Woman Pointing (from Sketchbook)

Francis William Edmonds

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Pencil sketch on paper of two men. One man sits on a chair on the right side of the page, angled left. He has short hair and a mustache. He wears a collared shirt, jacket, slacks, and shoes. His legs are crossed at the ankles. His left hand holds a smoking pipe to his mouth. The other man is drawn lightly on the left side of the page. He appears to be standing and leaning towards the seated man with one arm extended. The sketch is framed by a border with dark smudges in the corners, suggesting the page is from a sketchbook.
