Music at Night
1914

A detailed pencil drawing on paper depicting a group of nude, rotund figures in a lush, sunlit forest. Some figures are playing musical instruments like flutes and stringed instruments, while one sits in the foreground. The style is reminiscent of Renaissance or classical artwork, with a focus on form and the play of light and shadow. The paper has a warm tone, and there are markings on the bottom indicating the print number and possibly the artist's signature.
