Two Children (from Sketchbook)

Francis William Edmonds

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white sketch of two children. The child on the left is a boy wearing a cowboy hat, a shirt, pants, and shoes. He holds a hat in one hand. The child on the right is a girl wearing a dress. She has short hair and her arms are outstretched. The sketch appears to be drawn on paper that is part of a sketchbook. The edges of the sketchbook pages are visible. The background of the image is white.
