Study for Three Girls on a Chicken
c. 1941

Pencil sketch of a fantastical carousel with figures including a woman riding a rooster-like creature, accompanied by two other figures, one of whom has a halo suggesting a saintly or angelic nature. The drawing exhibits dynamic movement and expressive lines, with attention to detail in the figures' drapery and the creatures' features.
