Holy Family et al. [?]; Turning Female Figure, Half Length; Woman Seated at Window (from Sketchbook)

Thomas Sully

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a sketch of a holy family and some other figures. A man, woman and baby are in the center; the man is on the left behind the woman. The woman holds the baby. The figure on the left appears to be a draft or earlier version. The man has short hair and stubble. The woman wears her hair back. To the right are rough sketches of two figures in a standing position, one fully formed in outline and one with minimal detail. At the bottom right, there is another rough sketch of two figures; one appears to be bending over or sitting. The background appears to be a plain surface with some illegible writing at the bottom left.
