Study of a Farmer [verso]

About this work

This sketch shows a person wearing a hat and a loose jacket, holding what looks like a walking stick or tool. Their face is simple, with just a few lines for eyes and a mouth. The paper is light beige, and the drawing is small, tucked into one corner. The artist used quick, light strokes to capture the person’s posture and clothes. This style was common in studies—small, fast drawings to practice shapes and movement. Next, check out Perry, Enoch Wood, Jr. to see more of his work.
