This drawing by American artist Francis William Edmonds (1806-1863) is a series of sketches from a sketchbook. Three sketches are depicted, including a standing figure, an interior scene with figures and a dog, and a landscape. These quick drawings were likely created in the 1830s, demonstrating Edmonds's style of observation and skill in capturing fleeting moments in pencil on paper. The artist was known for his detailed depictions of everyday life and his mastery of light and shadow.
