A charcoal drawing on paper, from the beginning of the 20th century, representing 3 peasant women dressed in loose clothing and headscarves at work.

The drawing is signed lower center: Andrée Karpeles, a French painter who lived for many years in India. Detailed information on the life of the artist can be obtained thanks to the research of Marie Olivier, currently a student instructor at the INHA library, has produced a research paper on the French painter and engraver Andrée Karpelès. Andrée Karpelès (Paris, 1885 - Grasse, 1956) is an artist at the heart of Franco-Indian exchanges, close to the School of Bengal, an important figure in the promotion of contemporary Indian art on the French scene.

From 1906, she exhibited almost every year at the National Salon of Fine Arts, the Salon d'Automne and the Salon des Indépendants where several of her works were acquired by the State.
