Deux femmes nues assises 1886 - 1889

"Deux femmes nues assises" is a charcoal drawing by the French Symbolist artist Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, created between 1886 and 1889. The drawing depicts two nude women seated, with one holding the other's hand. The figures are rendered in a simplified, almost classical style, with a focus on their form and pose. The drawing is characterized by its muted tones and delicate lines, which create a sense of quiet contemplation and serenity. Chavannes' work is known for its poetic and melancholic quality, and this drawing is a perfect example of his artistic style.
