"Atlas' Daughters" is a black and white drawing by Paul Leroy (1860-1942). The artwork depicts three women, possibly representing the daughters of Atlas, a Titan in Greek mythology who was condemned to hold up the sky. The women are shown with bows and arrows and are accompanied by two dogs, perhaps illustrating their roles as hunters. This drawing showcases Leroy’s talent for depicting figures in motion, especially in the dynamic pose of the woman in the foreground.
