"Study For Rizpah" is an evocative artwork by the renowned British artist Frederick Leighton, 1st Baron Leighton (1830–1896). Leighton, a leading figure in the Victorian art world, is celebrated for his masterful technique and his ability to convey deep emotion through his works. This particular study is a preparatory piece for his larger and more famous painting, "Rizpah," which was completed in 1893.

The subject of "Rizpah" is drawn from a poignant biblical narrative found in the Second Book of Samuel, Chapter 21. Rizpah, the concubine of King Saul, is depicted mourning and protecting the bodies of her two sons, who were executed by the Gibeonites. This act of maternal devotion and grief is a powerful theme that Leighton explores with great sensitivity and depth.

In "Study For Rizpah," Leighton focuses on the figure of Rizpah herself, capturing her anguish and determination. The study reveals Leighton's meticulous approach to composition and his dedication to understanding the human form and emotion. His use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to anatomical detail, are evident in this preparatory work, showcasing his skill in rendering the subtleties of human expression.

Leighton's works, including "Study For Rizpah," are often characterized by their classical influences and their emphasis on beauty and idealism. He was a central figure in the Aesthetic Movement, which sought to prioritize beauty and artistic quality over moral or social themes. However, in "Rizpah," Leighton manages to blend aesthetic beauty with a profound emotional and narrative depth, making it one of his most compelling works.

"Study For Rizpah" not only serves as a testament to Leighton's artistic process but also stands alone as a moving portrayal of a mother's love and sorrow. It is a significant piece within Leighton's oeuvre and contributes to our understanding of his artistic legacy.
