Group of Men Seated in a Circle

William Blake, c. 1780/1785

The artwork depicts a group of six men seated in a circle. The figures are shown from the waist up, with the central figure slightly more prominent and facing forward. The men have varying facial features, and most have curly hair. They are dressed in robes or cloaks, which are loosely sketched. The central figure holds a staff or stick, and another figure gestures with his hand. The background is a simple, shaded gray, giving focus to the figures without any additional elements or scenery.
