Vijf figuren 1830

"Vijf figuren" is a 1830 drawing by Karl Palzow. It depicts five figures, all shown in profile, with their heads clustered together. The figures include a young boy, a woman, a man with a beard, and two women. Each of them has a unique facial expression. This drawing likely comes from a larger series, and the tight cropping of the figures suggests they were originally part of a larger composition. This work is a fine example of Palzow's mastery of the art of drawing, particularly his use of graphite to render the figures.
