Studies of Crowing Rooster and Reclining Figures [recto and verso]

John Flaxman

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of various sketches and scenes. The medium is pencil on paper with multiple sketched elements filling the sheet. In the upper left corner, there is a rough sketch of a rooster or similar bird with exaggerated feathers and squawking posture. Below it, another rooster or bird sketch is present. Other sections of the drawing show rough outlines of seated figures. Additionally, there is a rectangular shape on the right side of the paper. The drawings appear to be quick studies or ideas.
