Sketch of a Hound (from Sketchbook)

Francis William Edmonds

ca. 1838 and after · Graphite on off white wove paper · The American Wing

The execution of sketches and studies was a crucial part of Edmonds’s creative process. Many of his drawings exist as independent works--apparently never taken further--but many others represent an initial step in his conception for paintings. This sketchbook, which he began about 1838, includes both types of drawings of a variety of subjects.
