This sketch shows a flying angel mid-motion, holding a round object in one hand. The figure has wings, a draped cloth, and bare feet. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a hurried sketch. The angel’s pose looks dynamic, with flowing robes and outstretched arms. This style blends movement with soft shading—almost like a quick study rather than a finished work. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more sketches like this.
