Compositional Study: Standing Draped Man, Female Figure (from Sketchbook)
The image shows a sketch of four figures drawn in black on a gray background. A standing man on the left wears a draped garment, with long hair and bare feet. His left hand is on his hip, and he looks to the left. On the right, a woman stands with her left hand on her chest. She has a slender build and appears to be nude. A seated woman on the right holds a baby. The figures are drawn with thin, expressive lines. The background is plain with subtle shading and marks. A simple architectural element is on the left edge. The overall style suggests a study or preparatory work. The title of the image is "Compositional Study: Standing Draped Man, Female Figure (from Sketchbook)" by Thomas Sully.
