Study for Day (Truth), graphite drawing of three standing nude women

Three nude female figures stand in profile and three-quarter view, arms outstretched sideways, drawn in graphite with light smudging on cream paper marked by faint squared grid lines. The figures have long flowing hair and bare feet, with the middle figure facing right and the outer two turned inward, against a plain ground.
