Monument to Agnes Cromwell (?)

John Flaxman

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing depicting faint outlines of figures in an architectural setting. Barely visible lines suggest the contours of human figures. One central figure is framed by an architectural element, possibly a door or window. Light, delicate strokes create depth and perspective. The drawing has an unfinished appearance, providing a glimpse into the planning stages of a composition.
