Οι δύο φίλες is a 1945 by Alex Mylona, depicting clothed male, naked female, held at Metropolitan Organisation of Museums of Visual Arts of Thessaloniki – MOMus.
You see two women standing naked, looking at each other. They are in different poses, one with her weight on one leg. The artist drew this to practice drawing the human body from different angles, which was a common exercise for artists. The women seem to be interacting, but their faces are not detailed. This makes you focus on their bodies and how they are posed. Check out the technique of cross-hatching to learn more about how drawings like this are made.
