Artist, Scottish, 1876 - 1953

This is a drawing of a group of figures and abstract shapes. The drawing features loosely sketched figures cloaked in robes, standing in a gathering. The lines are minimalistic, conveying the essence of the figures' cloaked forms without intricate detail. The figures are positioned in a casual arrangement, interacting or conversing. The lack of facial features and specific details leaves an air of mystery and anonymity. The background is mostly blank, highlighting the central focus on the figures and their cloaks. The style suggests a focus on form and movement, capturing a dynamic scene within simplicity.
