Three Girls in front of a Mirror (Drei Madchen vor dem Speigel)

Otto Mueller

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three nude figures seated in a diagonal line. The figure on the left is viewed in profile with an arm raised behind their head. The second figure is leaning forward, and the third figure, seated to the right, is turned towards the viewer with long hair framing her angular facial features. The background is textured and dark with light shading suggesting the floor. The style of the hair is depicted with simple, linear strokes, and the figures are rendered in an expressive and rough artistic style, emphasizing their contours and form against the contrasting background.
