Sketch of Standing Man with Uplifted Arm n.d.

Thomas Stothard's "Sketch of Standing Man with Uplifted Arm" is a pen-and-ink drawing depicting a figure in profile, with the right arm raised. The artist, a prominent figure in the British art scene of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, is known for his historical and literary subjects. This sketch, held by The Art Institute of Chicago, demonstrates Stothard's masterful use of line and his keen eye for anatomy, captured in a swift and expressive manner. The work likely served as a preliminary study for a larger composition.
