Two Sketches of a Weeping Woman 

"Two Sketches of a Weeping Woman" are a pair of quick sketches by Benjamin West, a prominent British painter of the 18th and 19th centuries. West is best known for his history paintings, such as "The Death of General Wolfe," but he also produced a significant number of drawings and sketches. These sketches, rendered in pen and ink, showcase West's exploration of figure drawing and his interest in capturing emotional expressions. The sketches show a woman in various poses, each expressing sorrow and grief. West's use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and movement, capturing the weight of her emotions.
