About this work

This small, faded drawing shows three figures standing side by side. The person on the left wears a dark robe with a red cloak, the middle figure has a long black dress with a red sash, and the one on the right is dressed in a dark robe with a golden halo. Their faces are simple, with flat colors and no shadows. Notice how the figures’ outlines are clean but the background is rough, almost like it was drawn quickly. The colors are muted, and the faces lack detail, giving it a very old or worn look. If you like this style, check out stippling as a drawing technique.
