Study for the Painting "Sybil" Lord Frederick Leighton (British, 1830-1896). Study for the Painting "Sybil.". Charcoal and chalk on wove paper, Sheet: 14 9/16 x 10 7/8 in. (37 x 27.6 cm). Frederic Leightons academic training taught him to prepare numerous figure and drapery studies for his paintings. This drawing of a classically robed woman is a study for a large oil painting, Sybil, which he exhibited in 1889. Her pose is reminiscent of Albrecht Dürers figure in Melencolia, while her sculptural presence reflects Leightons debt to the monumental female figures of Michelangelo. By the 1880s, Leightons highly finished style was falling out of fashion in favor of the looser, more spontaneous approach of Impressionism. In this climate, viewers appreciated his energetic charcoal drawings, such as this one, which contemporary magazines regularly reproduced. European Art
