The Coconut Merchant

Théophile Alexandre Steinlen

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing containing multiple sketches and scenes executed in blue sketching material. There are depictions of various human figures, including a standing nude figure, several children, and different busts or heads of individuals. One prominent scene in the upper right corner shows a bustling group scene that may depict market activity or a gathering with figures and goods or market stalls. The composition appears to be a collection of sketches studying different poses, expressions, or activities, reflecting a practice or preparatory work in art.
