William Ward Beecher

Repose
1955

A detailed pencil sketch of a still life arrangement featuring a stringed instrument, possibly a lute, leaning against a draped window. Next to the instrument, there's a piece of paper with the word "TEMPOS" visible, a glass vase holding a single rose, and a wine glass atop an old book. The scene conveys a sense of quiet and repose, as suggested by the word "Repos" written at the bottom left. The artist's signature, William Owen Goodridge, is at the bottom right.
