Draped Man from Rear (after Tintorietto?); Putto Making Bubbles (?); Shaded Figure in Radiance; Archway and Altar (?); Figure Composition (from Sketchbook) 1810 - 1820

This 1810-1820 sketch by Thomas Sully, titled "Figure Composition (from Sketchbook)", features a collection of loose drawings on a single sheet of paper. It is a study in figure drawing and composition, with a central focus on a seated putto, or cherub, and a series of surrounding sketches including a draped figure, an archway, and a group of figures. The sketch exhibits Sully's masterful line work and provides a glimpse into the creative process of this prominent American portrait painter.
