Thomas Sully

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white sketch of two female figures. The figure on the left stands beside a bench-like object, wearing a long dress with a low neckline and short sleeves. Her hair is pulled back. The standing figure holds something in her right hand. The figure on the right sits on a low platform, wearing a long dress, with her hair pulled back. She holds a long, thin object in both hands. There are indistinct marks suggesting foliage behind the seated figure. The background of the sketch is plain. The sketch appears to be titled "(From Sketchbook)" and attributed to Thomas Sully.
