About this work

This painting shows three women standing together. It's a simple scene, but the women's faces and bodies are distorted. The artist used bold lines and simple shapes to create this image, which makes it interesting because it's not trying to be realistic. The distortion of the women's faces and bodies gives the scene a sense of tension. This might be because the artist was trying to convey a feeling or mood rather than create a realistic picture. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique: lithography.
