"Study for the Figures of Father and Son in The Raft of the Medusa" is a preparatory sketch by the French Romantic painter Théodore Géricault for his monumental work "The Raft of the Medusa" (French: Le Radeau de la Méduse), which he completed in 1819. This study is one of the many preliminary sketches Géricault created as part of his extensive research and planning process for the final painting, which now hangs in the Louvre in Paris.

The sketch captures the emotional intensity and despair of two figures from the final composition: a father and his son. In the context of the larger work, these figures contribute to the narrative of the Medusa shipwreck, a historical event in which the French frigate Méduse ran aground off the coast of Mauritania in 1816. The tragedy and the government's mishandling of the rescue became a national scandal, and Géricault's depiction of the event was both a commentary on the incident and a broader statement on human suffering and endurance.

Géricault's study is an example of his dedication to realism and his desire to convey the raw emotion of the shipwreck's survivors. He went to great lengths to produce a historically and anatomically accurate portrayal, including studying corpses in morgues and consulting with survivors. The sketch likely served as a means for Géricault to experiment with composition, lighting, and the physical interaction between the figures, allowing him to refine his vision before executing the final painting.

The "Study for the Figures of Father and Son in The Raft of the Medusa" is an important piece of the larger narrative of Géricault's work on "The Raft of the Medusa," offering insight into the artist's creative process and the development of one of the most significant paintings of the Romantic era. The study is held in high regard for its historical significance, its demonstration of Géricault's artistic skill, and its emotional power as a standalone piece of art.
