Two reclining female nudes 1913

This 1913 watercolor by Hermann Lismann, titled "Two reclining female nudes," depicts two nude figures in a loosely defined landscape. The artist utilizes a gestural style, with fluid lines and washes of color suggesting the forms of the women. The composition is dynamic, with the figures overlapping and interacting in a seemingly spontaneous manner. The work's expressive nature exemplifies the artistic trends of the early 20th century, particularly the influence of Expressionism and the exploration of the figure in art. Currently, the artwork resides in the Städel Museum.
