This pencil sketch by John Flaxman, a prominent English sculptor and artist, is a study of three heads. The drawing features a central head, likely depicting Mary Magdalene, and two other figures that may be saints. Flaxman's work is known for its neoclassical style, evident in the simplified forms and focus on classical beauty. This sketch, with its delicate lines and subtle shading, demonstrates his mastery of the medium. The artist likely created this work as a preliminary study for a larger sculpture or painting.
