Study for "Classic and Romantic Art"

John Singer Sargent

National Gallery of Art

The image displays an oval-shaped drawing of a scene with multiple figures. The central figure, a male, stands on a platform with one leg raised and strikes a pose with one hand on his hip. He has curly hair and his facial features are not distinct. To the left, another male figure faces a satyr-like creature with goat features. On the right, two figures face each other in conversation. The setting is classical with a rounded structure, and the background has shaded, swirling lines suggesting motion.
