Study of Adam for the "Fifteen Mysteries of the Rosary" is a 1910 charcoal by John Singer Sargent, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a seated figure drawn in charcoal, with a focus on the upper legs and part of the torso. The drawing shows the figure's relaxed yet dignified posture. Sargent paid close attention to the drapery and texture, which is interesting because it highlights his skill in rendering details.
