Study for Profitable Advertising
1906–1908

Preliminary sketch on tan paper depicting a framed scene with a figure standing under an arch, surrounded by leaves or foliage, with a rough outline of a second figure or statue to the right. The drawing is faint and appears to be in pencil, with various lines and shapes suggesting an early stage of design or composition.
