Illustration for Kensworth 

This illustration by Alfred E. Hubbard, likely a preliminary sketch, depicts a scene from the narrative "Kensworth". Executed in black and white wash, it portrays a dramatic moment where a figure wielding a sword stands over a prone figure lying on a bed. The scene is framed within a circular composition, hinting at a vignette for a larger work. Hubbard, known for his illustration work, was active in the 19th century and this piece offers a glimpse into his artistic process.
