a richly colored etching with aquatint by Art Werger, depicting three female figures moving beneath the surface of water. Light refracts across their bodies, creating a rhythmic interplay of form, color, and motion.

Referencing the classical motif of the Three Graces while firmly grounded in a contemporary visual language, the work balances idealized figuration with a modern sense of immediacy and sensuality. The fluid handling of color and the immersive aquatic setting invite comparison to late 20th-century explorations of the figure in water, while remaining unmistakably Werger’s own.
