notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: Gerome Ferris made two pencil studies of sword grips used by a soldier of the Black Watch regiment. Such a soldier appears in the 1930 painting <i>Here Comes the Bride, 1759</i>, showing Washington’s marriage to Martha Custis. The small unsigned sheet is bordered in black like mourning notepaper suggesting that Ferris seized whatever came to hand when he had an idea.
