Admiral Sir Edward Pellew

George Chinnery

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a sketch of a person standing and facing slightly to the side. They are in a pose with one arm extended forwards. The person's facial features are subtly drawn, and they have hair styled with some detail drawn around the head. The clothing appears to be a loosely fitting jacket and trousers that taper around the ankles. There is no discernible jewelry or objects. The background is blank, showing only the sketched lines. There are some faint writings above the sketch.
