Two Graces is a 1927 oil by Edvard Munch, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Munch Museum.
This painting depicts two nude women standing side by side, facing slightly to their right. They have long hair and are shown from the waist up, with their arms at their sides. The women are painted in a loose, expressive style, with visible brushstrokes and vivid colors. The background of the painting is a soft, muted color, which helps to focus attention on the figures. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance, with the women's bodies rendered in a naturalistic but not overly detailed way.
