(Study for a Lunette Design with Three Figures and Landscape)
1899–1906

Sketches on a beige paper featuring a central scene with three figures within an oval outline, possibly depicting a narrative or concept. The central figure stands upright, flanked by two seated figures facing away from each other. Additional rough sketches of human figures are scattered around the central drawing, showing various poses and expressions. The artwork has a draft-like quality with visible pencil strokes and corrections.
