Three Companions (Les trois compagnons)

Théophile Alexandre Steinlen

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three people in a desolate landscape. Two people are standing and one person is sitting. The figure on the left holds a cane in their left hand and gestures with their right hand. They wear a cap and a bulky coat. The other standing person is slightly behind and to the left, leaning forward and wearing a cap and heavy coat. Both have full beards. The seated man on the right wears a loose garment and has long hair and a sparse beard. He looks towards the standing individuals. The background is a simple, open landscape with distant, indistinct shapes.
