Three Figures 1865

"Three Figures" is a white chalk sketch on brown paper, created by the Pre-Raphaelite artist Edward Burne-Jones in 1865. The work depicts three figures, one standing alone on the left and two huddled together on the right, appearing to be a couple. The delicate lines of the drawing, achieved using white chalk on brown paper, are characteristic of Burne-Jones's style, a distinctive style within the Pre-Raphaelite movement, which was influential in the late 19th Century. The piece highlights the artist's interest in creating ethereal and suggestive compositions, reminiscent of his other works.
