Study for Frieze of Prophets

Artist: John Singer Sargent
Artwork: Study for Frieze of Prophets
Description: This is a preparatory drawing for a frieze of prophets that was commissioned for the Boston Public Library. It is a quick sketch in pencil on paper, and it shows a man in a long robe standing with his back to the viewer. The man’s head is turned slightly to the right, and he has a thoughtful expression on his face. The drawing is a study for a larger work, and it is a good example of Sargent’s skill as a draughtsman.
