Ames du Purgatoire

Auguste Rodin

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of three figures in a minimalist style. The drawing features three intertwined figures sketched with light, delicate lines on a plain background. The figures appear in a fluid, natural pose, with the lines of their bodies suggesting movement and grace. The sketch is sparse and leaves a lot of negative space, emphasizing the contours and gentle forms of the figures.
