Thirteen standing draped figures 1913

"Thirteen standing draped figures" is a 1913 drawing by Ferdinand Hodler, known for his distinctive style of depicting figures in harmonious, flowing lines. The work displays Hodler's signature use of red chalk on a pale yellow paper, creating a minimalist, almost sculptural effect. The figures, rendered in elongated forms, stand close together, radiating an air of serenity and unity. This piece is a fine example of Hodler's fascination with human form and his exploration of themes of unity and interconnectedness.
