Designs for Monuments [recto and verso] 

This pencil drawing by the English sculptor John Flaxman, is a preliminary design sketch for a monument. The work appears to be made up of three separate designs, all of which include framed spaces likely for inscriptions. Flaxman, a leading Neoclassical sculptor of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, is known for his elegant and restrained style, as seen in his drawings for monuments, which often feature allegorical figures and decorative motifs.
