Two Bearded Figures in Clouds with a Falling Nude, Watercolor

A luminous watercolor and ink drawing in pinks, blues and yellows shows two bearded men in swirling clouds reaching their hands toward each other above. Below, a pale nude figure floats with arms outstretched amid radiating rays of light. The loose washes and pen lines create a dreamlike, celestial composition.
