A Study of Miranda for "The Tempest" is a 1786 ink by George Romney, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman with her arms raised, holding a loose cloth over her head. Her body is turned slightly to the side, and her face is blurred but still recognizable. The lines are quick and rough, with dark ink and light gray shading. The sketch looks like a practice drawing for a larger work. The artist didn’t focus on details—just the overall shape and movement. Check out Romney, George to see more of his quick, expressive sketches.
