About this work

This painting shows three women standing close together in an open, grassy field. The sky is soft pink and blue, with a faint city skyline in the distance. The women have long hair, and their bodies blend slightly into each other, creating a dreamy, ghostly effect. The artist used a technique where ink is pressed onto a stone to create the image. This makes the colors look slightly smudged and layered. Look up lithography to see how this process works.
