Prints and Drawings from the Gallery's Collection and the Myron A. Hofer Collection

The image shows a sketch of five figures depicted in various stances. They are dressed in attire characteristic of the period, wearing long coats, knee-length breeches, cravats, and tricorn hats. The clothing details are emphasized, conveying movement. The figures are interacting with each other or an unseen object. The drawing is monochromatic, predominantly in red chalk, with minimal facial features depicted. The background is plain and lacks additional context.
