This pencil drawing, titled "Study for Apollo" by American artist Elihu Vedder, depicts the Greek god Apollo. The study is characterized by Vedder's characteristic use of strong lines and a simplified style. The figure of Apollo is rendered in a realistic manner, with a focus on his musculature and the flow of his drapery. The background, though sparsely drawn, suggests a landscape setting, possibly referencing Apollo's association with the sun and the arts. Vedder's use of light and shadow creates depth and drama in the composition.
