Against Green, Arthur B. Davies, 1918 Aquatint

Three nude female figures in pale, pearly tones intertwine against a mottled green ground of foliage and water. One figure leans forward over the others while a reclining figure rests at lower left, with soft drawn contours and a dark pinkish foreground. The composition suggests a figure group set within a dense landscape.
