Patience is a 1921 by Francis Dodd, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows two people sitting at a table, drawn in loose, sketchy lines. The person on the left looks down, hands folded, while the one on the right sits upright, gazing off to the side. Behind them, a lamp, curtains, and a mirror are faintly sketched in—just enough to suggest a cozy room. The artist used quick, rough strokes to show light and shadow, making the scene feel intimate. The title *Patience* hints at a quiet moment between the two figures, though the drawing itself leaves plenty to imagine.
