Specialist note

Three Figures is a design executed for use in the Omega Workshops, compositionally owing much to Picasso's 1907 painting Les Demoiselles d’Avignon. Grant was a founding member of Roger Fry’s Omega Workshops, an English applied arts company, in 1913. Designs were selected to decorate different objects including ceramics, furniture, carpets, and other textiles.
