Hermann Max Pechstein Print, Two Women and a Toddler (Florence) (1913)

Two Women and a Toddler (Florence) (1913) by Hermann Max Pechstein

Two Women and a Toddler (Florence) (1913), originally Zwei Frauen und ein Kleinkind (Firenze), records an intimate domestic group during Pechstein's Italian travels. Two seated women and a small child are organised within a compact vertical composition of reaching arms and bent bodies.

The original combines reed-pen drawing in ink and watercolour over pencil on brownish wove paper and measures approximately 40 × 30.2 cm. Pechstein dated the work 1913 and inscribed it “Firenze”.

Available as a fine art print, handmade framed print or canvas panel, this warm neutral figure study suits bedrooms, studies, hallways and gallery walls.

An Italian family scene

The toddler creates the central point of interaction, linking the two women through gesture rather than formal pose. Pechstein's compact arrangement makes the small scene feel balanced and complete.

About Hermann Max Pechstein

Hermann Max Pechstein (1881–1955) was a German painter and printmaker and one of the leading figures of German Expressionism. He joined Die Brücke in 1906 and became known for forceful contours, simplified forms and heightened colour. Figures, portraits, working life, coastal subjects and landscapes remained important themes throughout his career.

Style and technique

The reed pen produces a strong, varying line while light watercolour washes add warmth and volume. Pencil remains visible beneath parts of the drawing, reinforcing its direct observational character.
