Figure study 1875 - 1877

This pencil study, "Figure study," by Pre-Raphaelite artist Edward Burne-Jones dates to 1875-1877. It is housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen, and is a preliminary drawing for one of his larger works. The drawing features a single figure in a flowing robe, characteristic of Burne-Jones's style and interest in classical and mythical themes. The piece is a good example of the artist's delicate draftsmanship and focus on capturing the essence of the human form.
