Description
A sketched study of figures fills the scene, with a focus on a young woman's portrait to the left and a second, ethereal figure on the right, both adorned with classical headwear. Below them, there are delicate renderings of hands gently touching one another, and the visage of a child peering upward, completing a triad of character studies. The use of red and black outlines suggests that this piece might have been a preparatory work for a larger composition, steeped in the artistic traditions of the Renaissance or Baroque period.
