Study for "Classic and Romantic Art" is a 1921 charcoal by John Singer Sargent, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows people in a classical setting. It's an oval shape with a man posing on a platform. The people around him are with a creature that looks like a satyr. This mix of people and a mythical creature is interesting. It shows how classic and romantic ideas can be combined. Check out the work of artist: Sargent, John Singer.
John Singer Sargent (; January 12, 1856 – April 15, 1925) was an American expatriate artist, considered the "leading portrait painter of his generation" for his evocations of Belle Époque and Edwardian-era luxury.
