Figure for Bridge Picture

Composition

This drawing was exhibited with the title, 'Figure for Bridge Picture' but no picture by that title is known. It is likely that it related to a series of drawing of women in classical drapery standing by a railing, such as r.: Draped figures on a bridge; v.: Figures on a balcony [M.0314].
