Thomas Sully

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a pencil sketch on gray paper. Two male figures are drawn. The one on the left stands with a cane in right hand, wearing a hat and what appears to be a long coat. The figure on the right stands with left arm extended. Illegible writing and sketch marks are scattered around the figures.
