Composition with female figures is a 1917 oil by Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting shows several women in flowing clothes. They're standing together, but it's hard to tell what's going on. The colors are bright and swirly. The women are wearing long dresses in red, white, and purple. They're all standing close together, but they don't seem to be doing anything in particular. The background is dark and hard to see. The painting is very colorful and dreamy. It might be interesting to learn more about the artist who made it, Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz.
