Mr. Way and Mr. Booth

James Wells Champney

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of two men. One man is standing with his hands in his pockets. He has an angular face, wears a top hat, a coat with tails, a waistcoat, and trousers. The other man is seated on a bench, partially facing the viewer. He has a rounded face with a beard and a mustache, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a jacket, trousers, and shoes. The background is minimalistic with faint outlines indicating landscape features like hills or fields and some sketchy foliage at the base. Handwritten identifiers are present around the image, likely names and a date.
