About this work

This painting shows four women standing in a line, facing forward. They are all naked except for the one on the far left, who is wearing a head covering and has her back to the viewer. The background is a solid light color, with a dark floor. The women are all looking straight ahead, with neutral expressions. The one on the far right has her hand on her chin, and the one next to her has her hands by her sides. The woman on the far left is looking down, and the one next to her is looking straight ahead. The painting is done in muted colors, with a focus on the shapes and forms of the women's bodies. It's a simple yet striking image. You might also want to check out the work of artist 180_person.
