Análisis artístico

See Young woman with forehead wearing a small hat.

Two naked young women, one from the front and the other from the back, lie on a bed that is blurred against the white of the paper.

Gassier links it to the problem of the Prado's Majas, as the bed on which they lie could very well be the same as the one in this sketch by Sanlúcar, making it the starting point for those paintings.

On the back of the sheet is the drawing Two Old Women Caring for a Young Woman Lying Down.
