A gray pencil sketch on paper with several sketches. The largest sketch shows a woman sitting on a chair with one leg crossed over the other. The woman has short hair, is wearing a long dress with a low neckline and appears to be topless. The dress drapes over her left shoulder and arm. The chair she is sitting on is mostly not visible. To the right of the sitting woman is a much smaller sketch of a building with a horse and buggy in front. In the top left is a standing woman bending over possibly tying her hair. To the left of the sitting woman is a small sketch of a partial object. To the bottom right of the sitting woman is a sketch of a dog. The background of the paper around the sketches is blank. The sketch is titled "(From Sketchbook)" by Thomas Sully.
