After Cecilia Beaux (Philadelphia, 1855 - 1942, Gloucester, Massachusetts)
Leslie Buswell, about 1918
Printed ink on paper
A copy of a portrait of Leslie Buswell on white paper done in grey pencil. The sitter appears turned to our left in a three-quarter pose, his head and eyes face us with a piercing gaze. His dark hair is combed back with a slight pompadour. This portrait bust ends at the neck with the suggestion of the knot of a tie and a stiff white collar.
