Studies for Ceres and Juno in ‘Prospero Summoning Nymphs and Deities’ 

This preparatory study by Herbert James Draper is a white chalk drawing on a brown paper. It consists of three figures, all women, drawn from the waist up. The figures are lightly drawn and appear to be studies for a larger work. The subject matter of the piece is likely to be from mythology, as the figures appear to be goddesses or nymphs. Draper, a British artist, was known for his academic style and his often-mythological subjects.
