Studies for Lunettes

Charles Sprague Pearce, 1890/1897

This is a drawing of a set of sketches showing eight semi-circular sections, each depicting different themes. The scenes include "Family," "Religion," "Study," "Recreation," "Labor," and "Rest," with figures engaging in activities relevant to each theme. The sketches are in blue and green against a beige background, suggesting a preliminary conceptual layout for a larger work like a mural.
