This pencil drawing by John Flaxman, a prominent English sculptor and draughtsman, is a design for a monument dedicated to Dr. Lawrence Humphrey. The piece, likely created in the late 18th or early 19th century, features a seated figure of Humphrey within a neoclassical architectural framework. Flaxman's signature and date are visible at the bottom of the drawing, which is now held in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. The drawing's simplicity and focus on form are characteristic of Flaxman's style, which was influenced by both Classical and Renaissance art.
