Study for "Sculpture"

James Henry Moser

National Gallery of Art

The image is a pencil drawing of a sculpture on paper. The drawing depicts a reclining figure of an adult on cushions, with a small child or infant next to them. To the left stands an angelic figure with wings, looking downward. Another smaller angel is seated in the background. The drawing is monochrome, created with graphite on beige paper. The figures are on a rectangular base with the word "Sculpture" inscribed. The style is sketch-like, with shading for depth and texture. The overall composition appears naturalistic and serene.
