Description


                    Figures by a railing, Art Institute Of Chicago
Figures by a railing, Art Institute Of Chicago

Rough sketches of five draped female figures leaning on a railing, in horizontal format. At left are two faint figures, then, in the centre, a woman carrying a parasol, open but held at a downward slant; the next, to right, holds an open fan that partly conceals her face. The figure at far right leans on the rail, facing front.
