John Flaxman

Artist, British, 1755 - 1826

The image shows an incomplete full-body sketch of a person with one hand resting on a dog's back. The person appears to be slightly bent forward, engaging with the dog, which is sitting beside them. The person's facial features are softly drawn with a downward gaze towards the dog. They have an indistinct hairstyle with loose strands visible and wear a long, flowing garment. The person does not wear any jewelry or hold any objects other than their hand on the dog. The background is minimal with light lines suggesting a possible wall or structure behind the figures.
