Two seated female figures appear among lively, lightly indicated garden foliage. The economy of line gives stillness to the figures and motion to the surrounding trees. From a group associated with Barnes Foundation educators during Violette de Mazia’s leadership.
Curator’s Notes
I respond to how much Nahan communicates with so little. The drawing brings a meaningful Philadelphia art-history thread into the collection without needing an elaborate frame.
