Studies of Peasants with Wheelbarrows [verso]

John Singer Sargent

National Gallery of Art

The image is a sketch showing several figures and body parts. The central figure, seen from the back in full view, appears to be standing upright and using crutches, wearing a wide-brimmed hat. Other smaller figures to the right are depicted standing and walking forward, wearing short tunics or dresses, with visible legs and arms. In the top right corner, there is a sketch of what seems to be a head or face viewed side-on. On the left side, there is a partial study of an arm. The background is plain with no additional context or environment details.
