Study for "Autumn Sun" 1905

"Study for 'Autumn Sun'" is a 1905 charcoal drawing by Czech artist Frantisek Kupka, known for his pioneering work in abstract art. This study, executed in a realistic style, depicts three female figures in a stylized landscape setting. Their nude forms and the decorative elements of the background hint at Kupka's interest in symbolist themes. The drawing, a smaller-scale preparatory work for a larger canvas, is a testament to the artist's meticulous approach and his exploration of different artistic styles throughout his career.
