Sheet of Studies [recto and verso]

John Flaxman

National Gallery of Art

The image shows faint, sketchy lines forming abstract shapes resembling three figures standing side by side. The central figure appears taller with a circular head and two projections above. The figures on each side have flowing lines resembling cloaks or robes, suggesting ceremonial attire. The drawing is minimalistic and creates an abstract representation of a gathering or meeting.
