Study for a Monument to a Clergyman [recto and verso]

John Flaxman

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of abstract figures. The drawing features faint, sketchy outlines of figures, some standing with others possibly sitting or kneeling. The lines are delicate and suggest a gathering. The simplicity and lightness of the pencil work give it a draft-like quality.
