Three Studies of Ludovic Halévy Standing

Edgar Degas

National Gallery of Art

This drawing shows three identical men in profile, facing the left, wearing high top hats and long coats. They are all leaning forward slightly with their hands in their pockets. The sketch is done in a loose drawing style, with little detail visible in the men’s faces. The background is plain, off-white paper.
