Studies of Figures

James Goodwyn Clonney

National Gallery of Art

The sketch shows several figures. One central figure sits facing forward with a calm expression and short, wavy hair, wearing a garment with wide sleeves and a high neckline. To the left is a side profile sketch of an older person wearing a hat. Additional smaller, less detailed sketches of faces and partial upper bodies surround them on a plain, light-colored background.
