Artist, British, 1755 - 1826

This is a drawing of various overlapping sketches of dynamic figures. The drawing features multiple lightly sketched figures, some appearing to be in motion, with limbs extended and torsos bent. The sketches are executed with quick, fluid pencil strokes, suggesting a study of movement or action, possibly capturing different poses and perspectives. They are scattered across the paper without a background. The upper portion appears to have a cut or torn edge, and some brown stains are visible on the paper.
