John Flaxman

Artist, British, 1755 - 1826

The image shows multiple rough, lightly sketched human figures on a plain piece of paper. The figures vary in detail and focus, some showing only upper body and head while others suggest a more complete figure. The sketches lack precise details and appear to be preliminary studies.
