Sheet of Studies [recto and verso] after 1811

This is a pencil drawing of a sheet of studies executed after 1811 by the English sculptor John Flaxman, renowned for his neoclassical style. The drawing features multiple figures, including two seated individuals, likely sketches for larger works. Flaxman was particularly known for his illustrations and sculptures that drew inspiration from classical mythology and literature, which is evident in the elegant lines and idealized forms of his figures. The loose, sketchy style is typical of his working process, where he utilized these preliminary studies to develop more refined compositions.
