About this work

The image presents a watercolor and graphite drawing of two figures, each accompanied by a ball. The figure on the left is depicted wearing a white outfit with black and red accents, including a hat, suspenders, and knee-high socks. In contrast, the figure on the right is dressed in a white dress and holds a ball in her right hand. The drawing showcases the artist's attention to detail, with intricate lines and shading that bring the figures to life. The use of watercolor adds a touch of softness to the overall piece, while the graphite provides depth and texture. This artwork is a testament to the skill of artist Bakst, Lev Samoilovich.
