Studies of Field Laborers (from Sketchbook VII)

Pencil sketch on paper of three laborers. One laborer on the right facing away from the viewer with head slightly bowed, wearing a hat and apron; arms at sides with one hand partially obscured. One laborer on the left center slightly faded, facing right; wearing a hat; right arm bent and raised; left arm and details obscured. One laborer on the far left highly faded; only outline visible; facing right. The sketch appears to be on a piece of bound paper; four holes are visible on the left edge; a darker line along the top edge; uneven line on the right edge. The background of the paper is mostly blank. The sketch itself is rendered in light and dark shades of gray.
