Composition with Five Figures in Natural Setting, Two Male, Three Female, with a Lyre (Ponnassus?) (from Sketchbook)
Black and white sketch on a gray background. Five people drawn in a natural setting. The people are wearing old-fashioned clothing. Three females and two males. One female sitting on the left side playing a large stringed instrument. The instrument has a rounded body and a long neck. A female standing to the right of the musician, facing left. A male standing in the background on the right side, facing forward. A female to the right, near the foreground, facing right. A male sitting on the ground in the center, facing right. The people appear to be outdoors, with foliage and trees. Some areas of the sketch are shaded with closely spaced lines. The sketch lines vary in thickness and texture. The paper appears to have rough edges.
