Figure Studies

John Flaxman

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a scene with vague and unfinished outlines of figures and forms rendered in light pencil marks on a plain background. The forms suggest the presence of figures possibly engaged in a grouping, but they are not clearly defined. The drawing appears to be an initial sketch or study, with tentative lines that create an impression of being in the early stages of a creative process.
