The sketch or study for a piece. The first preliminary to the execution of a work. Wedgwood's artists— including Flaxman — first made a sketch, and from this, when approved of, a more perfect design was wrought. Among the Mayer MSS. are Flaxroan's two rough sketches for the design of the bas-relief of the *' Manufacturers* Arms.'* A copy of this bas-relief is now, apparently, unknown.
