initial sketch

This is a study in ink on paper, created between 1810 and 1820 by American artist Thomas Sully. The sketch contains several studies, including a figure in a chariot, two horses and a standing child figure accompanied by a woman. This artwork is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it is appreciated for its insight into Sully's working process. It is a typical example of a preparatory drawing used by artists to develop their ideas and composition.
