This drawing, part of a sketch book filled with studies, was created by Frederic Leighton between 1850 and 1860. The work contains preliminary sketches for a portrait of the English novelist William Makepeace Thackeray. The quick, gestural lines are a testament to Leighton’s skill in capturing likeness. The piece can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
