Study for "Marbles"

James Henry Moser

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing with two main sections. The left side shows a shaded sketch of a figure seated in a chair. The right side features overlapping circular forms, with the word "MARBLES" written prominently. Hand-written notes and lines suggest instructions or edits. The drawing appears loose and informal, indicating a work in progress. Top left corner notes say, "Change as indicated."
