An Artist Seated at His Easel [recto]

Andries Both

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts three figures in an artist's space. In the center, a person is seated, working on a canvas on an easel. They wear a loose coat and headwear, with one foot on the ground and the other raised. The surrounding figures, older in appearance, sit nearby. The scene includes various sketched objects and furniture, with a textured paper background. The sketch is created with expressive ink strokes.
