This is a pencil sketch by English artist John Flaxman, titled "Three Groups of Dancers." It's likely a preliminary study for a larger work, showcasing Flaxman's skill in capturing movement. The loose, gestural lines suggest the dynamic energy of the figures as they dance, while the simplicity of the composition allows the viewer to focus on the flowing forms and subtle details of the poses.
