Three garbed figures c. 1470 - 1480

Sandro Botticelli's "Three Garbed Figures" (c. 1470-1480) is a red chalk drawing housed in the Städel Museum. The artwork depicts three figures, possibly a study for a larger composition, all draped in flowing garments. Botticelli's use of red chalk conveys a sense of movement and volume, emphasizing the graceful curves of the figures and the delicate folds of their clothing. The drawing is a testament to Botticelli's mastery of line and form, and it exemplifies his contributions to the Early Renaissance art movement in Florence.
