Sketch of figures in an interior 

This watercolor sketch by Edwin Austin Abbey, a prominent American artist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, depicts a domestic scene with three women in a dimly lit interior. The composition is loosely rendered, suggesting a spontaneous moment captured in time. The figures are depicted in a casual, almost snapshot-like manner, emphasizing the intimate nature of the scene. The use of muted tones and a focus on soft light creates a sense of intimacy and quiet contemplation, characteristic of Abbey's style. This sketch is a testament to Abbey's mastery of capturing everyday life with both realism and poetic sensibility.
