"Study of Drapery for The Last Watch of Hero" is a preparatory work by the eminent British painter Lord Frederick Leighton (1830–1896), who was a leading figure in the Victorian era art world and served as the president of the Royal Academy of Arts. This study is part of Leighton's meticulous process in creating his final paintings, where he paid close attention to the rendering of fabric and the play of light and shadow on its folds. The work is directly associated with his larger and more famous painting "The Last Watch of Hero," which depicts the tragic climax of the classical story of Hero and Leander from Greek mythology.

In this study, Leighton explores the texture, form, and movement of drapery, which is a hallmark of his style, characterized by its classical grace and technical precision. Drapery studies were a common practice among classical and neoclassical artists, as they allowed the artist to focus on the challenges of representing the weight, structure, and fluidity of fabric on the human form. Leighton's work in this area reflects his academic training and his dedication to the ideals of classical beauty and harmony.

The study serves not only as a testament to Leighton's skill and attention to detail but also provides insight into his artistic process. It allows viewers to appreciate the level of preparation and thought that went into the composition of his final works. "Study of Drapery for The Last Watch of Hero" is an example of the preparatory pieces that contribute to the understanding of the methods and techniques of Victorian academic painting, and it remains an important piece for study by art historians and enthusiasts of Leighton's oeuvre.
