Studies for "Dancing Figures"

John Singer Sargent

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch with two partial views of a human form from behind. The first figure on the left displays the torso and arms, with the left arm raised above the head and the head turned slightly to the left. The second figure on the right extends from the upper body to the legs, with the right leg slightly behind the left. The sketch focuses on the body forms, which are nude, showing contour and shading. The background is plain and unadorned.
