"After Antique Sculpture of Seated Figure with Sword" is a graphite drawing by John Downman, created in 1774. Downman, a British artist born in 1749 and died in 1824, is known for his portraits and drawings. The artwork depicts a seated figure holding a sword, likely a classical sculpture, as suggested by the title. This drawing, a study after an antique sculpture, showcases Downman's keen observation of the human form and mastery of graphite. The Art Institute of Chicago houses this piece, a testament to Downman's contribution to the artistic landscape of the 18th century.
