Against Green is a 1918 ink by Arthur Bowen Davies, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts three nude women in a serene setting. The woman in the center is bent over, with her hands on the thighs of another woman who is seated on the ground. The third woman is positioned behind the first, with her head resting on the first woman's back. The background of the painting features a subtle green hue, which adds to the overall sense of calmness. The artist's use of soft colors and gentle lines creates a soothing atmosphere, drawing the viewer's attention to the figures in the foreground. The women's bodies are rendered in a naturalistic style, with attention to detail and texture. The painting's focus on the human form and its use of soft colors and gentle lines make it a beautiful example of the artist's skill.
