About Two bathing girls

The artwork titled “Two Bathing Girls” was created by the artist Franz Marc in 1909. Rendered on cardboard using tempera, this piece falls within the Post-Impressionism art movement and is classified as a genre painting.

The artwork depicts two young women engaging in the act of bathing, rendered with a harmonious blend of warm and cool tones. The use of tempera on cardboard allows for a distinct texture, adding depth and softness to the portrayal of human figures and the natural surroundings. One figure is seated on the grass, with a relaxed posture, while the other stands, delicately adjusting her hair. Their forms are outlined with expressive strokes that reflect the Post-Impressionistic style, emphasizing both the emotional atmosphere and the fleeting essence of the moment captured.
