1790
graphite
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Group of Figures is a 1790 graphite by John Flaxman, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a loose, quick drawing of three small figures sitting together. The lines are light and wobbly, like a rough draft. The paper is a plain, pale beige, with a few tiny spots and a ragged edge on the left side. The drawing feels unfinished, almost like a doodle. The artist used only graphite, so there’s no color or shading—just simple outlines. Want to see more work like this? Check out Flaxman, John.
