This 1810-1820s work on paper, titled "Liberty Figure; Fleeing Nude Female Figure with Putti (from Sketchbook)", is a study by American artist Thomas Sully, known for his portraits. The drawing displays a figure of Liberty, standing with a sword and a crown of leaves, while on the right a nude female figure is being chased by small, winged putti. This sketch, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies Sully's exploration of the human form and the ideals of Liberty, often depicted in his larger-scale paintings.
