This red chalk drawing by Pieter Tanjé depicts the Three Graces, the goddesses of beauty, charm, and grace in Greek mythology. The three figures stand in a linked pose, with the central figure facing the viewer and the flanking figures looking over their shoulders. The drawing is a fine example of Tanjé’s skill as a draughtsman, capturing the beauty and grace of the figures with delicate lines. This artwork is a part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
