Study for Masque of Cupid 

This study by Edward Burne-Jones, a prominent Pre-Raphaelite artist, captures the essence of the human form in three distinct faces. The work is a preparatory sketch for a larger painting, "Masque of Cupid," focusing on facial expressions and gestures. Each face is rendered in a delicate, refined style, utilizing subtle shading to convey emotion and depth. The viewer is drawn into the intimate world of the subject's contemplation, leaving the viewer pondering their internal thoughts and emotions.
