(From Sketchbook) 1810 - 1820

This 1810-1820 drawing by Thomas Sully, titled "(From Sketchbook)," is a study of four figures in various poses. The artist is known for his portraits, and this sketch likely served as preparation for a larger work. The figures are drawn in a loose, gestural style, capturing the movement and flow of the human form. The sheet provides a glimpse into Sully's artistic process, revealing his skill in capturing the essence of the human figure through simple lines. The piece can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY.
