Study of Two Female Figures in Arched Border 1890 - 1897

This watercolor study by Charles Sprague Pearce, dating back to 1890-1897, showcases two female figures draped in flowing white gowns, positioned within an arched border. The figures gracefully reach out towards a rectangular plaque, adding a sense of narrative to the composition. The figures are rendered in a soft, ethereal style, characteristic of Pearce's work, creating a sense of grace and fluidity. This study likely served as a preparatory sketch for a larger decorative piece, showcasing Pearce's talent for creating visually captivating and graceful designs.
