Three Figures c. 19th century

"Three Figures" is a pencil sketch by Alfred Grévin, created in the 19th century. The artwork features three figures, depicted in profile, wearing elaborate costumes. This is likely a preparatory study for a larger work and it exemplifies the artist's fascination with detailed character representation, a characteristic of his work. The sketch, housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, showcases Grévin's skill in capturing movement and form through quick, expressive lines, offering a glimpse into the artistic process of a renowned artist.
