Trois Coreens

"Trois Coréens" (Three Koreans) is a watercolor from August 1935 — a preliminary or independent study rather than a finished woodblock print, depicting three Korean figures together in a composition likely preparatory to a finished print version. Jacoulet produced watercolors alongside his woodblock work throughout his career, using the faster medium for initial studies of composition and color before committing to the lengthy woodblock process. Three Korean figures together suggests a social scene or a family group.
