Standing Male Figure; Male Figure on a Horse (from Sketchbook)

John William Casilear

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a sketchbook page with two pencil drawings. The top drawing depicts a standing male figure with curly hair, wearing a long robe or toga that is draped over his left shoulder and across his body. He stands on a flat surface with some grass-like elements at his feet. The bottom drawing shows a man on horseback, wearing a hat, riding a horse that appears to be running or jumping with its front right leg extended forward and its back left leg extended backward. The horse's tail is detailed with long strands. The drawings are on a white paper background with darker shading around the edges, suggesting a scan of a physical sketchbook page.
