This sketch shows three women sitting on a rocky ledge. The one in the middle holds a bunch of flowers, while the others gesture with their hands. Their faces are soft, and the lines around them are loose and quick, like they were drawn fast. The women look like they’re from a story—maybe symbols for bigger ideas. The artist used simple shapes and shading to make the forms pop without too much detail. Next, check out putti to see how these figures connect to other art.
