Guy Pène Du Bois

Trio
1928

A sketch of three figures, with the central figure facing forward and the two flanking figures in profile, all appearing to be in motion. The drawing is minimalist, with outlines suggesting the forms and clothing of the figures. The central figure is more detailed, with shading and features like a necklace and a frilled dress, while the others are more loosely defined. The artist's signature and the date '28 are visible in the lower right corner. The paper shows signs of age with slight discoloration.
