Les trois graces

Jean-François Janinet after Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini

National Gallery of Art

Three nude women are standing closely together. The woman on the left faces slightly to the right, the middle woman has her back to the viewer, and the woman on the right is facing forward, looking towards the left. The woman on the left has blonde hair styled in an updo with loose curls. The middle woman has brown hair styled in a bun, and the woman on the right has long, curly blonde hair. Their facial features are serene. The woman on the left holds a bouquet of flowers in her right hand, and the woman on the right holds a similar bundle of flowers in her left hand. The background shows a landscape with hills, vegetation, and a blue sky.
