The Four Witches (Four Naked Women)

Albrecht Dürer

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white image of four nude women with their backs to the viewer, except for one in the center who faces forward. The woman on the left has a ram-like horn protruding from her head and faces away; her body turned slightly to the right. The second woman from the left faces away with her hair styled in a bun-like fashion on the back of her head; her right arm around the third woman. The third woman from the left faces forward with a head covering; her body turned slightly to the right. The woman on the right faces to the left; her body turned slightly to the right with a cloth draped over her waist. A globe-like object with a circular emblem hangs on the wall behind the women. The women stand on a tiled floor. The background shows a dark wall and an arched doorway on the right. The image has a border around it.
