The "Farnese Flora" at Stourhead 

Samuel Woodforde's "The 'Farnese Flora' at Stourhead" is a pencil drawing of a classical sculpture. It depicts a female figure, possibly Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers and spring, draped in a flowing garment. The artwork's delicate shading emphasizes the figure's form, highlighting the graceful curves of the body and the soft folds of the drapery. The composition is simple, with the figure standing prominently against a pale blue background, creating a sense of timeless beauty and elegance. Woodforde's meticulous detail and the use of chiaroscuro techniques add depth and realism to the drawing. This work, a study of a renowned antique sculpture, showcases the artist's keen observation and skill in capturing form and light.
