Artist, Spanish, 1908 - 1963

This drawing is a sketch of a scene with curved walls and arches. To the left, there is a person in a draped dress and a hat hiding behind a curved wall. To the right, four elongated figures in long coats with top hats appear to be floating in mid air around a circular structure. One of the floating figures turns toward us, while the other three face ahead. Some of the lines of the drawing appear to have been erased and re-drawn, giving them a smudged appearance.
