Author: Albert J. Elen

The main figure is primarily a drapery study, presumably in preparation for a standing figure in a large composition, to be executed in oil on canvas. The head of a young man with a hat at top left is similar to a study on a sheet in the Cambridge Album.1 There is no painting with which these studies can be connected.
