Sheet of Studies [recto and verso]

John Flaxman

National Gallery of Art

There is a drawing of multiple faint sketches on a sheet of paper. The main focus is a lightly drawn figure in the upper left quadrant in a standing and bent over posture. Surrounding the figure are smaller sketches consisting of simple lines and shapes. The drawing appears to be an exploratory exercise in gesture drawing or basic planning of compositional elements. The paper has a textured look and appears slightly aged with subtle discolorations or markings present.
