From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Studies for a Triumphal Arch Surmounted by Britannia [recto and verso] is a 1799 graphite by John Flaxman, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a pencil drawing of a grand archway with a warrior woman on top. The lines are sharp and precise. You can see how the artist planned each part carefully. Flaxman worked in England in the late 1700s. He used simple pencil strokes to show depth and shape. The arch looks solid, like real stone. Check out how Flaxman, John drew this to see his clean style.
