Saint Luke at His Easel and Four Expressive Heads is a 1775 ink by Jean-Claude-Richard, Abbé de Saint-Non, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a sketch of a man sitting at an easel, with a winged figure behind him. The man is wearing a robe and has a palette in his lap. In front of the easel are four expressive heads, each with a different facial expression. The sketch is done in brown wash on laid paper, with some etching visible in the details. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, with the man lost in thought as he paints.
