Partial Sketch of a Boy in Knickers

American 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of a person from the waist down to their feet. The person is standing with one leg bent at the knee, and their feet close together. The sketch uses faint lines and shading to depict clothing that appears to be a skirt or dress reaching slightly below the knee. The clothing has a flowy texture, with an additional garment or fabric visible. There are no facial features, hair, or arms in the sketch, and the background is blank.
