About this work

This lithograph shows three nude girls in front of a mirror. The girls are positioned in different poses, with one sitting on a chair and the other two standing. The mirror is not visible, but the girls' reflections are implied by their poses. The lithograph has a rough, sketchy quality, with bold lines and minimal shading. The girls' bodies are depicted in a simplified, almost abstract way, with an emphasis on their shapes and forms. The artist, Otto Mueller, was known for his expressive and emotive works, and this lithograph is a great example of his style. If you're interested in learning more about Mueller's work, you could check out the National Gallery of Art, Washington, which holds this piece in its collection.
