Studies of Figures [verso]

Anicet-Charles-Gabriel Lemonnier

National Gallery of Art

The image features multiple figures. In the foreground, there is a sketch of a woman in a seated position, reclining slightly with her arm extended to the side. Her face is turned downward, and she has styled hair with a headpiece, draped in flowing garments. Below her, another figure is lying down with outstretched arms. To the right, a standing woman is depicted, looking forward with her hair tied back and wearing layered fabric around her torso. In the upper corners, there are two small circular sketches with faint outlines of figures. The background is lightly shaded, drawing attention to the figures.
