Washing of Hands n.d.

"Washing of Hands" is a pencil drawing created by the English artist Frank Stone (1800-1859), currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago. The artwork depicts two women in a domestic setting, one pouring water from a pitcher into a basin held by the other. The use of light and shadow adds depth to the figures, while the simplicity of the composition creates a sense of intimacy. The artist's signature can be seen in the lower right corner, along with a stamp. This drawing exemplifies Stone's talent for capturing the quiet moments of everyday life.
