The painting of the German artist Grien shows three naked witches. An interesting fact is that while they are moving they show their genitals. Usually, nudes are represented in a static pose. The pudental cleft of the central figure is clearly visible, the woman on the right is depicted in a lunge position and covers her vagina with her hand. The figure on the left is seen from behind and shows the indicated outer labia. At the time, German and Dutch artists aimed for a more lifelike representation of the sexual organ than in earlier centuries.
