"Drapery Study for Murals at the Boston Public Library" is a preparatory work by the renowned American artist John Singer Sargent (1856–1925). Created as part of his extensive process in designing the mural cycle for the Boston Public Library's McKim Building, this study is one of many that Sargent produced to perfect the intricate details of the final murals. The Boston Public Library murals are considered one of Sargent's most significant contributions to American art and public space.

Sargent's commission for the library, which he worked on from the 1890s into the 1910s, was to decorate the third floor of the library's grand staircase and adjacent hall with a series of murals depicting the theme of the "Triumph of Religion." The drapery study is a testament to Sargent's meticulous attention to realism and texture, as he sought to capture the way fabric moves and folds, which would later contribute to the dramatic effect of the figures in the final murals.

The study showcases Sargent's mastery of light and shadow, as well as his skill in rendering the weight and texture of fabric, which adds a tangible quality to his compositions. While the exact date of this particular study is not documented, it is representative of the artist's working method, wherein he would often isolate elements such as drapery, hands, or architectural details to ensure their accurate portrayal within the larger scene.

As a part of the preparatory work for the murals, the drapery study is an important piece of the puzzle in understanding Sargent's creative process and the execution of one of the most ambitious mural projects of his career. The final murals themselves are a landmark in the history of American art, and studies like this one offer insight into the laborious and thoughtful approach that Sargent employed in bringing his grand vision to fruition.
