Thomas Hewes Hinckley

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a sketch with two drawings. The drawing on the left is a simple sketch of a man sitting. The man appears to be wearing a hat and has his body turned to the right. The man's facial features are not clearly defined. The man appears to have his right leg crossed over his left leg. The drawing on the right is a simple sketch of a dead deer lying on its side. The deer appears to be lying on its right side with its legs stretched out. The deer appears to have been drawn with minimal detail. The background of the image is white with a thin black border around the edge. The image appears to be a page from a sketchbook. The drawings appear to be done in pencil. The image is not colored.
