Dying Figure in the Arms of a Woman; Praying Woman; Standing Woman; Architectual Detail; Sleeping Figure (from Sketchbook)
The image features five sketches of people on a gray background. A woman holds a dying figure on the left. The figure on the right is standing with arms outstretched. Two women are on their knees, one with her hands clasped in prayer and the other facing downward. A fifth figure sleeps or rests on a surface, possibly a table or chair. All figures are drawn in black lines. The sketches appear to be loose and expressive, with minimal details. The overall composition suggests a study or practice exercise.
