Three Groups of Figures (Parents and Children?) 

"Three Groups of Figures (Parents and Children?)" is an unfinished pencil sketch by the English sculptor and artist John Flaxman. It depicts three groups of figures, possibly parents and children, in a loose, gestural style. The sketch is likely a preliminary study for a larger work, and the lack of detail suggests Flaxman was exploring the composition and overall arrangement of the figures. The work reflects Flaxman's interest in classical art and his ability to capture human movement and form with minimal lines.
