Figure Standing over Corpses, Blowing a Horn

John Flaxman

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a figure standing among other prone figures. The central figure is shown in a dynamic pose, with their hands raised to their face. The image also includes abstract and loosely sketched additional forms that suggest movement or a spectral presence. The lines are delicate and light, depicting the human form in a simple yet expressive manner. The fallen figures are rendered in a similar style, hinting at a narrative of action or drama unfolding within the scene.
