"Three Musicians (1921)" is a fun interpretation of Picasso's "Three Musicians." The figures are composed of geometric shapes and bold color blocks, primarily in shades of black, white, orange, and brown. One musician plays the violin, wearing a jacket with a diamond pattern in orange and yellow tones. The central figure, dressed in white, plays a wind instrument, and the third figure has a dark outfit and holds an accordion. A sheet of music with notes is prominently displayed in the center. In the foreground, the painter playfully holds his paintbrush, conducting the three characters. The overall style is dynamic, merging classical work with a whimsical touch.
