About this work

This sketch shows a rough drawing of a room with a tall, ornate vase on the left and a doorway in the back. The doorway leads to a space with arched windows and a few small figures inside. The word "PAINTINGS" is written under the arch, and below that is a list of four portraits and their sizes. The list names three portraits by the same artist, C.L. Elliott, and one by Adolph Schreyer. The drawings are quick and loose, like notes for a bigger project. Want to see more by the artist who made this sketch? Check out Moser, James Henry.
