John Flaxman

Artist, British, 1755 - 1826

This is a drawing of two standing figures on pedestals with an indistinct form below them. The sketch depicts two figures, each wearing a long robe and holding a cross. The figures are placed on rectangular bases, suggesting they might be statues or figurines. In the lower section of the drawing, there is a faint outline of a shape that resembles a crouching or seated form, but it is not detailed enough to be clearly defined.
