Group of Five Figures is a 1790 graphite by John Flaxman, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a sketch of five figures in various poses. The figures are drawn in pencil and appear to be in different stages of completion. Some are more detailed than others, with visible facial features and clothing. The sketch is done on a piece of paper that has yellowed with age, and there are visible tears and stains on the edges. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance, with clean lines and minimal detail. The sketch is reminiscent of the work of John Flaxman, a British artist known for his neoclassical style.
