In technique and figural style, the drawing compares with sheets by Lucas Franchoys the Younger, a Flemish artist who may have worked for a period of time in Rubenss studio. Particularly close are three drawings by his hand in the Hessisches Landesmuseum, Darmstadt (inv. 282), and Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam (inv. RP-T-1884-A-300 and 301), all believed to date to the 1650s.[1As has been noted, the black figure at the top of the sheet, whose face appears to be strongly illuminated—the result of rubbing white chalk on the paper—brings to mind the young attendant blowing on embers in Rubenss 1609 Adoration of the Magi (Museo del Prado, Madrid).[Sketch of man reading in An 1893 sketchbook, 1893, Christchurch, by Petrus van der Velden.

This drawing is a preparatory study for a genre scene commissioned by a German nobleman in 1820 and shown at the Royal Academy in 1821. Executed in the three-chalk technique, the sheet betrays the influence of Rubensís drawings, which Wilkie could have seen in Paris in 1814. In a subject of the artistís own devising, a young woman covers a potential suitorís eyes, but will he identify her correctly.

Charcoal, graphite, and white pastel on wove paper, 30 5/8 x 28 3/16 in. (77.7 x 71.5 cm). The Spanish Impressionist painter Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida spent the summer of 1908 on the beach in Valencia with his family, where he produced a group of light-filled beach scenes. This gestural sketch, related to the 1908 painting Running on the Beach, Valencia, captures both the speed of the young girls’ movement and the fresh, breezy atmosphere. European Art n.d.

Graphite on medium, slightly textured, brown, laid paper.The First Riding Lesson (La première leçon d'équitation) Jean-Honoré Fragonard (French, 1732-1806). The First Riding Lesson (La première leçon d'équitation), ca. 1778. Brown ink and graphite on laid paper, 13 11/16 x 17 3/4 in. (34.8 x 45.1 cm). In this scene doting parents and a patient dog help a child learn how to ride. Their gentle instruction makes a striking contrast with the negligent and compromised behavior of the impoverished parents amid urban squalor depicted by William Hogarth in his contemporaneous Gin Lane, on view nearby. Jean-Honoré Fragonards best-known works are playful scenes of lovers and happy families rendered with a lively touch. In addition to intimate paintings and large commissions for his elite clientele, he also produced many large-scale wash drawings like this one, which were considered finished works of art rather than preparatory studies for paintings.
