Four Figures

Arthur B. Davies

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of four nude figures in a relaxed, reclining position. The drawing features fluid line work outlining the contours of the figures. The background is plain, focusing attention on the arrangement of the figures. The drawing conveys a sense of calmness and intimacy among the figures, which appear to be composed with a graceful quality.
