About this Item

Two figures stand by a small bridge.Drawing after Waterloo's etching A man and a woman near a small bridge (H 59), in this lot in two states, 1st and 2nd.In the drawing some details differ from the etching, the clothes of the figure on the left and the one woman with a hat visible just beyond the arm of the man, at the center of the composition, are missing.Usually, Waterloo sketched lines in black chalk and completed the drawings with a grey or brown wash. Some more finished and detailed drawings featuring walking figures or figures on animals are drafted in pen and ink and then enriched with grey or brown wash to determine regions of shadows.
