Coffee with Curators, for Friends and Fellows of the Museums

This sketch in fine lines shows a robed woman seated on a chair holding a baby. The woman’s robes have several folds, and her hair is swept up in a bun. A female figure with a halo kneels beside her. The color of the drawing is a light brown. The figures are positioned toward the left side of the work.
