Two Girls is a 1917 ink by George Bellows, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows two nude figures leaning over a large, round object. Their bodies are drawn in rough, dark lines against a plain background. The faces are blurred, and the scene looks like a sketchy, shadowy moment. The artist used a scratchy, uneven style that makes the figures feel alive but not polished. The title *Two Girls* hints at who might be in the picture, but the faces are hard to read. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how artists create prints like this.
George Wesley Bellows (August 12 or August 19, 1882 – January 8, 1925) was an American realist painter, known for his bold depictions of urban life in New York City.
