The Byzantine Bathers
1948

This is an image of an artwork depicting three stylized nude female figures in a dark, undefined space. The figure on the left stands facing the viewer, while the central figure is seated with her back to the viewer, and the figure on the right bends forward, her head close to the central figure. The figures are rendered with exaggerated curves and heavy shading, emphasizing their form and volume. The artist's signature is visible at the bottom right. The print has a textured appearance, indicative of a lithograph or etching, and is numbered and signed by the artist.
