Boy on a Ladder

James Goodwyn Clonney

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of a person on a ladder. The figure is seen sitting on the ladder in profile, with legs bent and feet on a rung. One hand grips the ladder. The person wears a wide-brimmed hat, a long-sleeved shirt, and rolled-up pants. Facial features are outlined, and there are no visible accessories. The sketch is against a plain background with red marks in the top corners.
