Three Women 1905

Emil Orlik's 1905 etching "Three Women" depicts three women in traditional dress seated in a relaxed conversation, with a basket resting at the foot of one woman. The print, now in the Art Institute of Chicago collection, is a captivating example of Orlik's mastery of etching, capturing the subtle details of the women's clothing and the natural setting. The use of black and white tones and the artist's signature in the lower corners enhance the print's visual appeal and historical significance.
