They are seen at three-quarter length, standing, grouped in intimacy of workand gossip, without the suggestion of pose. Not oneis revealed in all her features, yet each is wholly ex-pressed, with the characteristic truth, vigor and deft-ness of modeling of the artist. One girl is turned to thefront and facing the right, a hand raised to her corsage;another in front of her, with back to the spectator,is adjusting her black hair, both hands up; the thirdgirl is seen back of and between the other two, in pro-file, with an animated expression. Green skirts andpurple waists contrast with a fused background of red, brown and blue. Signed at the upper left, Degas. Purchased from Messrs.
