Studies For The Singing Priestess In Song 

This charcoal drawing by Herbert James Draper is a study for his famous painting "The Singing Priestess." The artwork features a nude female figure seated, looking upward, possibly in song. The drawing demonstrates the artist's use of gridwork, a technique employed by artists for precise proportions and accurate scale, commonly practiced in academic art. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is visible in the subtle shading and contours of the figure.
