Towels | Shrouds | Figures Bending Over
Towels obviously occur in many beach and bathroom scenes but we kept finding odd examples of either a towel or towel-like shroud draped often over the head. In many instances they seem signifcant in some way and create a very strange atmosphere. In some of the paintings figures are bent over for no apparent reason, sometimes with a towel hanging over their heads and sometimes without.
