Antique Figure is a 1821 ink by Thomas Rowlandson, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a woman in a flowing white robe, her head covered with a veil. She stands with her hands raised in a prayer-like gesture, her eyes cast upwards. The background is a soft, muted color. The woman's attire and pose suggest a religious or spiritual context, which is consistent with the visual genre of the painting. The use of watercolor and glazing techniques adds depth and texture to the image, drawing the viewer's attention to the subject's contemplative expression.
Thomas Rowlandson (; 13 July 1757 – 21 April 1827) was an English artist and caricaturist of the Georgian Era, noted for his political satire and social observation.
