Pan IV (Arcadia)

About this work

This painting shows three nude figures in a bright, sunlit landscape. Two people are lying down in the grass, while a third stands nearby, holding a baby. The background has tall trees and a wavy, golden sky with green leaves scattered around. The brushstrokes are loose and colorful, giving it a dreamy, almost sketchy feel. This style was common in early 1900s art. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
