Figure Studies including Reclining Boy

François Boucher after Abraham Bloemaert

National Gallery of Art

The image shows sketches of various figures and scenes. In the foreground, two figures lie on the ground. One figure is seen from the back, sitting with bent legs and short hair. The other figure is reclining, propped up on their left arm, wearing a loose garment and a head covering. Their face is facing downwards. There are also sketches of a walking stick and a basket nearby. In the background, there are lightly sketched figures, including two people close together and another person in a long dress and hat. A face with expressive eyes and a hat is visible in the lower left corner. The illustration is rough and sketch-like, with no specific background details.
