Sheet of Studies [recto and verso]

John Flaxman

National Gallery of Art

The image displays faint pencil sketches composed of rounded and curved lines forming various abstract shapes arranged in a grid-like format on the page. Each shape is contained within rectangular frames. Some shapes resemble clusters of clouds or organic, flowing forms. The sketches suggest familiar elements such as human silhouettes or gatherings, reminiscent of figures in motion. The abstract nature invites the viewer to draw connections to communal gatherings or storytelling scenes.
