Seated Men

John Singer Sargent

National Gallery of Art

The pencil sketch shows two individuals with full bodies, sitting close together with legs stretched out. The figures are depicted with minimal facial detail and are wearing what appears to be formal attire. One figure seems to be holding a cigarette. The background is abstract with some shading and lines, possibly suggesting an environment.
