This is a study of two kneeling figures by the artist Benjamin West, known for his historical paintings. The figures are sketched in a loose and expressive style, with visible hatching and cross-hatching in brown ink. The work captures the dynamic poses and the anatomical details of the figures in a way that suggests a preparatory study for a larger work, typical of the artist's practice.
