This sketch shows a boy sitting in a chair, looking off to the side with a serious expression. His clothes are simple—a collared shirt and pants—but the drawing focuses more on his body language than details. The lines are loose and quick, like the artist drew fast. The paper looks worn, with a few smudges where the pencil pressed hard. The artist’s name is signed in the corner, but the rest of the page is plain. Try looking up Ione Robinson next—she made many drawings like this.
