37.3 Euro Finished Figure, Genre, and Landscape Drawings
Finished compositions are those that Johnson would have tried to sell. They were often done with charcoal (black chalk) with touches of white (usually white chalk). Sometimes they are figures posed by models; sometimes they have genre-like storytelling themes. —PH

Hills Examination/Opinion
Examination date(s): 2019-05-29
Examination notes: Medium stated that it is graphite heightened with white gouache. I would suggest white crayon, since one sees shiny pencil-like strokes. Not signed. Label: FREDERICK, KEPPEL & CO. / 16 E 59TH
