Three Dutch Figures Eastman Johnson (American, 1824-1906). Three Dutch Figures, ca. 1852. Graphite, watercolor and white chalk on brown, medium weight, moderately textured wove paper, 6 1/2 x 10 7/8 in. ( x cm). This sheet contains preparatory figure studies for a genre painting of peasants begging for alms at the door of a castle. Eastman Johnson’s handling of the medium enhances his characterization: the loose, energetic quality of his line conveys the nervous desperation and bedraggled appearance of the beggars. American Art ca. 1852
