Liberty Figure; Fleeing Nude Female Figure with Putti (from Sketchbook)
The image depicts a sketch with two distinct scenes. On the left side is a standing female figure wearing a knee-length dress and a headpiece, with her body facing forward and her head turned slightly to the right. She stands on a base or pedestal adorned with decorative elements. To the right of the standing figure are two small cherubs. On the right side of the sketch is a nude female figure running or jumping to the right, accompanied by three cherubs. The female figure has long hair and her arms are raised. One cherub is positioned on her right shoulder, while another is near her right leg, and the third is near her left arm. The background of the sketch is a plain gray surface.
