Half-length Portrait of a Woman Seated Before a Window (after Lawrence?) (from Sketchbook)

Thomas Sully

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a woman seated and looking down. The woman has dark curly hair pulled back. She appears to be wearing a low-cut dress or top and is sitting in front of a window. Her right arm is bent and her hand is near her chest. Her left arm is cut off on the right edge. The background is shaded with dark areas behind the woman's head and lighter areas on the sides. The drawing is on a light gray background and appears to be from a sketchbook.
