This plaster cast, situated in the Flaxman Gallery at University College London, features a scene of three figures. The central figure, likely a representation of an ancient Greek philosopher, is seated, holding an open book and gesturing with his hand. The figures to his left and right are likely students or disciples, attentive to the philosopher's wisdom. This piece, attributed to John Flaxman, a renowned English sculptor, embodies the Neoclassical style that characterized the late 18th century, referencing classical Greek and Roman art. The plaster cast serves as a testament to Flaxman's mastery of form and his ability to convey complex emotions and intellectual pursuits through sculpted figures.
