Study for a Portrait of an Unknown Gentleman, Three-quarter Length Standing. Black and white chalk on blue paper. This drawing appears to be a study after a Hudson type portrait, but the original has not been identified. The pose appears to be a full length version of the pose used for Wright's portrait of Thomas Bennett 961-510.
