About this work

This sketch shows three women and a winged man in a forest. The women sit close together, holding hands. The man stands nearby, looking down. Trees and leaves fill the background. The drawing uses mostly browns and blacks. Notice how the artist focused on soft shapes and shadows. The figures blend into the scene. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow work in art.
