Three women 1914

Hermann Lismann's "Three Women" (1914), housed in the Städel Museum, depicts three figures in a seemingly outdoor setting. Rendered in a sketch-like style with loose, expressive lines, the piece showcases the artist's skillful use of colored pencil and watercolor. The composition suggests a moment of intimacy, perhaps a bath or a gathering amongst friends, with the figures positioned in a relaxed and natural pose. The work's subject matter and aesthetic style are characteristic of Lismann's artistic output, often exploring themes of the human figure and the natural world in a sensitive and lyrical manner.
