Studies for ‘Apollo and the Muses’ c. 1921

This drawing, *Studies for ‘Apollo and the Muses’*, is a series of five preparatory sketches created by John Singer Sargent in 1921. Depicting various angles of a female head, the work showcases Sargent’s masterful ability to capture form through the use of graphite. The sketches demonstrate the artist's exploration of the human figure, providing a glimpse into his creative process for the larger painting, *Apollo and the Muses*.
