About this work

In this watercolor painting, three women are seated on the ground, with one woman holding a child. The women are dressed in long, flowing garments, and the child is wearing a white outfit. The scene is set in a natural environment, with trees and foliage visible in the background. The artist's use of watercolor and black chalk creates a soft, dreamy quality to the painting. The women's faces are not clearly defined, adding to the sense of subtlety and intimacy. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Pascin, Jules.
