"Study for a Plate from *The Task*" is a pen and ink drawing by English artist Thomas Stothard, created around 1800. The work depicts a central female figure, likely a muse, surrounded by cherubs and set within an ornate frame. This drawing is a study for one of the plates in *The Task*, a long poem by William Cowper. The work, now in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to Stothard's skill in illustrating literary texts.
