1873
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Untitled is a 1873 by Charles Sims, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows three naked figures from behind. The person on the left stands with arms crossed, the middle figure leans forward slightly, and the one on the right stretches an arm out. Their bodies are drawn loosely, with quick, sketchy lines that leave some areas unfinished. The title written below hints at a story—it mentions "the three men in the furnace" and "the form of the furnace." This suggests the drawing might be linked to a biblical tale, though the figures here are simplified and rough. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works by Sims.
Three men are depicted working in a furnace, while the figure of a fourth person appears faintly. On the reverse side, slight sketches of lion cubs and cats are visible.
