About this work

This painting shows two nude women in a natural setting. The woman on the left is kneeling, while the woman on the right is standing. The background is filled with foliage and other natural elements. The scene is depicted in shades of black and white, with varying textures that add depth to the image. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of volume and dimensionality. The painting is a beautiful example of Arthur B. Davies' work, and it can be found at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
