This painting is called Studies of Seated and Reclining Figures. It was made by John Flaxman between 1820 and 1826. The artist worked with graphite to create this piece, which is part of the Romanticism movement. I don't know what the image looks like, but I can tell you it's from the Romantic period. It's interesting that Flaxman created this during a time when artists were focusing on emotion and imagination. You can learn more about this style by looking into the movement: Romanticism.
