Study for Standing Man Wearing Sash and Striking Dramatic Pose n.d.

This graphite drawing by American artist Thomas Duncan depicts a study for a larger work. The figure is rendered in a naturalistic style, with a focus on capturing the form and movement of the body. Duncan was known for his portraits and genre scenes, and this drawing demonstrates his skill in capturing human anatomy and expression. The subject is shown wearing a sash and striking a dramatic pose, suggesting the figure may be from a historical or theatrical scene. This study, housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, provides insight into Duncan's artistic process.
