Tonal study in in conté crayon and pastel on brown wove paper. In contrast to the standing figure for this composition (DMF_EDM_D0105) the seated figure which appears in the foreground of ‘The Valley of the Shadows’ is a more worked and detailed study, concentrating on the underlying form of the seated figure in order to ensure accuracy in the necessary foreshortening of the limbs and the way the cloth of the figure’s robes drape over the body.
