1790
graphite
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Two Huddled Figures is a 1790 graphite by John Flaxman, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two small, simple figures huddled together under a tent-like shape. The lines are light and sketchy, almost like a quick draft. The background is just a pale, empty space with no extra details. The drawing feels rough and unfinished, like a study rather than a polished work. The artist used only graphite, so there’s no color—just shades of gray. Next, check out Flaxman, John to see more of his work.
John Flaxman (6 July 1755 – 7 December 1826) was an English sculptor and draughtsman who was a leading figure in British and European Neoclassicism.
