Two Studies of Virgil

Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a drawing of two figures standing together. One figure is turned slightly to the side with defined facial features and short hair. The other figure stands facing the first, with hair possibly adorned and draped in flowing garments. Both figures are barefoot and there is minimal background detail, highlighting the grace and elegance of the human form.
