Study of Apollo for "Apollo and the Muses"

John Singer Sargent

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a person in a standing position. The person's left arm is raised and slightly bent at the elbow, with the right hand on the hip. The facial features are subtly outlined, showing a strong jawline and a calm expression, with short, dark hair neatly styled. The person is partially draped in fabric covering the lower body. The upper body is bare, showing musculature. There are no visible objects or jewelry. The background is plain.
