Artist, Spanish, 1881 - 1973

The image portrays three figures in a line drawing. The central figure is seated with one knee bent and an arm resting on a surface. To the left is a figure in profile with a pronounced nose and curly hair wearing a light floral wreath. Behind the central figure stands a third figure with facial hair and similar curls wearing a floral wreath. The figures are not clothed, but have floral garlands around their heads. The drawing shows minimal detail with simple curved lines in the background, potentially indicating clouds or abstract shapes. There is a suggestion of an indoor setting with a table and a vessel on it.
