Sketches of Mother and Child, Stooping Man n.d.

This anonymous work, titled "Sketches of Mother and Child, Stooping Man," is a collection of four quick sketches in brown wash, housed at the Art Institute of Chicago. The drawings, likely made in the late 18th or early 19th century, demonstrate the artist's ability to capture the human form in a dynamic and expressive manner. The sketches feature a variety of poses, including a mother and child, and several stooping men. The artist has used simple lines and washes to depict the figures, highlighting their anatomy and movement. These sketches offer a glimpse into the artist's creative process and their interest in studying human forms.
