From The National Gallery, Trafalgar Square:
The work was painted at a period when Anquetin had turned to the study of the Old Masters, especially Rubens. In both of these studies the general composition is reminiscent of Rubens's 'The Three Graces' (Vienna, Akademie), where the figures support a basket of roses.
