About the piece
Created in 1793 as a preparatory work, this oil study by John Singleton Copley showcases the artist's mastery of tone and composition. The scene features figures from Spenser’s 'The Faerie Queene', rendered in a sophisticated monochrome palette of warm earth tones that highlights the fluid brushwork and classical form.
