About this work

This pencil drawing on cream paper shows two studies of seated figures in loose, quick lines. The upper figure wears a turban and holds a long wooden instrument, while the lower figure, wrapped in draped cloth, leans over an ornate, long-necked instrument. The sketch is inscribed in the lower left with the title Musicians, Amritsar, 23 March 1860, by William Simpson, dated 1860.
