Artist, Spanish, 1881 - 1973

This is an artwork of three full-length figures standing close together. All three individuals face the viewer, with the central figure looking forward, while the figures on the sides are slightly turned towards each other. Their facial features are abstract, emphasizing the outline of their eyes, noses, and lips. Each figure has long flowing hair styled in soft waves that falls over their shoulders. The figures are nude, with subtle lines indicating body features. The background is minimalistic, with faint lines suggesting a division between the ground and background. There is a signature in the bottom right corner.
