Study of Death for "Time and Death"

George Frederic Watts

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a sketch of three figures, each drawn from the waist up. The central figure is slightly tilted to the right, with one arm crossed over the torso. Both figures flanking the central one appear to have their heads slightly bowed. All three are draped in loosely flowing garments, suggested by the light, sketchy lines representing folds and draping fabric. The sketch is done on a light blue background.
