Artist, British, 1755 - 1826

The image displays a sketch on a vertically elongated piece of paper. The upper portion of the sketch appears to depict an unfinished drawing of an object resembling a column or monument, with a dome-like structure on top. Towards the lower left, there is a partial sketch of a human profile, showing the side view of a person's face. The person’s facial features are loosely represented with a line drawing focusing on the forehead, nose, lips, and chin. Their hair, if intended to be drawn, is not detailed in the sketch. The rest of the paper is mostly blank with some marks, smudges, and wear visible in some areas.
