(From Sketchbook) 1810 - 1820

"From Sketchbook" is a collection of six ink sketches by American artist Thomas Sully from 1810-1820. The drawings showcase Sully's talent for capturing the human form and his attention to detail. This work is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and includes various studies of figures including a woman, a seated man, and a couple. The artist used a pen and ink on paper to create his drawing which is a very intimate and personal style for his time. The sketches are a reminder of the artistic process and show the artist's working methods in a personal way.
