Study for "Apollo and the Muses"

John Singer Sargent

National Gallery of Art

The image features an oval shape containing a series of curved and flowing lines that form an abstract arrangement of figures. The central figure is raised, with arms outstretched, surrounded by other figures in various poses. These figures, interconnected by continuous lines, draw associations with a scene of celebration or ritual.
