Landscape with Figure

late 18th–early 19th century · Black chalk on off-white wove paper, laid on gray wash-line mount · Drawings and Prints

A man who holds a long-handled tool, perhaps a scythe, kneels before a small cottage surrounded by trees. The attribution is not certain but aspects of the draftsmanship resemble works by George Morland, who specialized in rustic subjects.
