Notes
Medium: Drawing, Watercolor
A couple kisses while sitting on a bench under an elaborate archway. Their costumes evoke a fairy-tale Middle Ages. This watercolor is in the center of the top half of the sheet. There are several small pencil sketches on either side. In the bottom half of the sheet, there's a watercolor of a castle in the top left. There are two sketches on the rest of the sheet (a classical sculpture and a full-length female figure), but the bottom right corner has been torn away. On verso, a fragmentary map drawing.
