About this work

This sketch shows a group of four figures in a loose, sketchy style. One person stands tall, another sits on a low wall, and two others crouch or kneel around them. The lines are quick and uneven, with some shading but mostly flat areas. The scene feels hurried, like it was drawn fast. The artist signed it "Pascin" in the corner. The title is just "King Solomon," but the figures don’t look like a biblical scene—more like everyday people caught in a moment. Check out Jules Pascin to see how his work shifts between styles.
