Seated Man Reading, Facing Left

• Seated Man Reading, Facing Left
• Sitting Man with a Book, turned toward the left

RP-T-1899-A-4247

This man, engrossed in his book, is almost a mirror image of the lad in yellow trousers. The style of drawing and the materials are strikingly similar, and the sheets are almost the same size. It is quite possible that the two drawings once formed a set. The – originally identical – gold framing lines around the drawings show that the works once belonged to the same collection.
