Three Women Labsisters, Esaias Boursss, 1662 Three women with African traits pose outside the road for the draftsman. There are two women in the front; A third is a little further back on the floor. All three of them wear a turned hip rug (lungi) that reaches the calves and is tied in the waist. The upper body with hanging breasts is uncovered. Their heads are covered with a knotted headscarf. The middle woman is wearing a basket. In the drawing of the sitting woman - probably later - an arm, the breasts and a leg are updated with black chalk. Page 18 from a sketchbook with 117 sheets.
