1901
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Illustration for Chapter XXIII from "Lorna Doone" is a 1901 by William Henry Drake, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows two men standing outside a building. One wears a wide-brimmed hat and a loose coat, holding something in his hands. The other, with a cap and a long apron, leans in toward him, pointing or adjusting whatever the first man is holding. The background is rough, with quick strokes suggesting a doorway and a wall. The artist used fast, sketchy lines to capture movement and texture. The focus is on the characters’ interaction, not detail. The drawing feels like a quick study, maybe for a book illustration.
