Study of an Interior [verso]

Walter Shirlaw

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a faint pencil sketch of a person on aged paper. The sketch features a person's upper body turned slightly to the side, near a fireplace or arched structure. The sketch is rough, with unclear facial features and clothing. There are no visible objects or jewelry, and the person appears to be sitting. The background includes an arched architecture element and a suggestion of an interior space. The paper is predominantly blank with smudges and discoloration.
