Study for a Lunette

Charles Sprague Pearce

National Gallery of Art

The image contains pencil-drawn lines and shapes arranged in an abstract composition within an arch-shaped area at the top of the page. The lines and forms suggest figures or humanoid shapes, appearing to kneel or huddle. Some elements resemble scenery or landscape features in the background. The lines could be seen as fabric-draped figures or individuals near large, rounded objects or stones, conveying a sense of gathering or interaction.
