About this work

This sketch shows a small framed picture inside a larger drawing. The inner scene has two figures: one standing, one lying down. The colors are soft—pinks, greens, and yellows. The background looks like a curtain or cloth. The outer sketch is drawn in pencil, rough and light. It frames the watercolor like a window. The handwriting at the bottom says "Townroe—work after Titian." Look up Titian next to see how this artist inspired others.
