Studies of figures is a 1825 watercolor by Richard Redgrave, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows two kids sitting close together on the ground. The one on the left wears a white hat and a brown jacket, holding a small red book. The other, in a white hat and light dress, leans against them. The background is soft, watery colors—mostly greens and yellows—like a quick, loose sketch. The artist used watercolor, letting the paint blend into soft edges. It feels like a fast, casual study, not a polished work. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more sketches like this.
