Ichabod Crane at School, Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1849)

A pen-and-ink schoolroom scene drawn in fine lines on paper. A tall, thin schoolmaster sits perched on a high stool at a sloped desk while children crowd around, and a fire burns in the hearth at center. Tall windows and an open door light the room, and a bucket sits in the foreground at right.
