Artist, British, 1755 - 1826

This is a drawing of indistinct shapes and forms. The drawing consists of several loosely sketched lines that suggest rounded and elongated forms arranged in a somewhat symmetrical manner. The central part of the drawing has overlapping shapes that might be intended as abstract figures. The pencil marks are faint and light, giving the piece an unfinished and ethereal feel. The background is stark and unadorned, focusing attention on the delicate and minimalistic sketchwork.
