"Sketch of Polyphemus" is a drawing by the 19th-century British artist Richard Dadd, known for his detailed and whimsical works often depicting scenes from mythology, fairy tales, and Shakespearean plays. Dadd created this particular sketch during a period when he was prolific in producing artworks that were inspired by literary and mythological themes, which was also a time when he was grappling with severe mental health issues.

The sketch is believed to depict the character of Polyphemus from Greek mythology, a giant cyclops who is most famously featured in Homer's "Odyssey." In the epic, Polyphemus is encountered by Odysseus and his men on their journey home from the Trojan War. The drawing likely captures the moment from the narrative where Polyphemus is engaged in his daily routine, unaware of the presence of Odysseus and his crew.

Richard Dadd's work is characterized by its intricate detail and fantastical elements, and "Sketch of Polyphemus" is no exception. The artwork reflects Dadd's unique style and his ability to infuse his pieces with a sense of otherworldliness. The drawing would have been executed during a time when Dadd was institutionalized, after he was declared insane following the murder of his father in 1843. Despite his circumstances, Dadd continued to create art, and his works from this period are often considered to be his most important.

The sketch is an example of Dadd's masterful draftsmanship and his fascination with the supernatural and the grotesque. It is a testament to his enduring legacy as an artist who was able to produce captivating works under the most challenging personal conditions. "Sketch of Polyphemus" remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Richard Dadd, offering insight into the mind of an artist whose life and work continue to intrigue and inspire.
