Drie vrouwelijke figuren 1780 - 1849

"Drie vrouwelijke figuren" (Three Female Figures) is a preparatory drawing by David-Pierre Giottino Humbert de Superville, a Dutch artist working in the Neoclassical style. The piece, which is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts three women in flowing robes in a gridded space, possibly a preliminary study for a larger composition. The drawing's delicate lines and emphasis on form are characteristic of Neoclassical art, which favored clarity and balance over the emotionalism of Romanticism.
