This is a study sheet of sketches by Thomas Stothard, one of Britain's most famous illustrators of the early 19th century. The work, "Sketches of Male Profiles, Couple Embracing" is filled with quick studies, some of which are just heads in profile and others which appear to be figures in a more complete setting. This type of work would have been extremely common in the artist's day and is an important reminder that even the most famous of artists often studied and practiced their craft on a regular basis. The sheet, composed of graphite on paper, now resides in the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago.
