Brief Description
Three draped figures, one reclining, one kneeling, one standing, on light brown paper
Detailed Description
A drawing on light brown paper depicts three draped figures within a rectangular drawn frame. The figures are rendered with black outlines and minimal, faded color washes. On the left, a figure reclines or sits on a raised platform, covered in a blue-grey drapery that conceals most of their form, with their head bowed. In the center, another figure kneels or bends forward, facing the reclining figure, dressed in a brown-gold draped garment. To the right, a third figure stands upright, also facing the other two, wearing a light red-orange draped garment. Faint, uncolored outlines of what appear to be two small vessels are visible on the ground in front of the raised platform. The background is largely unadorned, with a faint vertical line on the right suggesting a wall. At the top of the paper, above the main scene, there is a horizontal band of faded brown-green wash and several lines of faint, handwritten script.
