DescriptionAn academic study of three men, atop a platform, as arranged by the instructor at the academy for this particular drawing competition. Two figures stand, while a third reclines on a draped white fabric. The drawing, executed in crayon, was part of an academic exercise, and is framed within a rectangle which was printed with offset lithography. The study appears to be dealing with the composition of figural groups and the distribution of light, as individual anatomy is not clearly articulated.Inscribedu.l. stamped in purple: ÉCOLE NATIONALE DES BEAUX-ARTS-CONCOURS D'EMULATION; l.l. in blue crayon: 49; on left margin: 94-7-1900; bottom left margin: N°1.(Concours); verso on sticker, and inscribed: Concours de____/ M.
