Studies for "The Fall of Gog and Magog"

John Singer Sargent

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two dogs lying down. The dogs are resting side by side, slightly overlapping each other. The artist uses soft pencil shading to convey the muscular structure and volume of the dogs. The sketch focuses on capturing the form and posture of the animals rather than intricate details.
