Three bandits
Sevillian school, c. 1850-1880. Brown ink and wash on paper.
Signed "= Velasco =" at lower right.
Three men dressed in men's clothing from the second half of the 19th century are drawn half-length. While two of them are smoking, the third is holding a gun over his shoulder.
It seems that the artist, whose surname is Velasco and who is unidentified, has drawn the three figures together in his composition without establishing a dialogue between them. It could be that the artist's aim was to show different popular types from a specific Spanish region, perhaps Andalusia, as the variety of hats shown in the drawing may correspond to different positions among them.
