"Die Vier Hexen" (The Four Witches) or "Die Vier Nackten Frauen" (The Four Naked Women) is an enigmatic engraving by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, dated to 1497. This work is one of Dürer's early masterpieces in the medium of engraving, showcasing his skill in creating detailed and intricate compositions. The image measures approximately 190 x 130 mm and is held in various collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the British Museum in London.

The engraving depicts four nude female figures standing in a confined, chamber-like space, with a skull resting on a pedestal in the foreground. The women are arranged in a somewhat pyramidal composition, with two seated and two standing, their gazes directed outward towards the viewer. The scene is shrouded in mystery, with scholars debating the symbolism and meaning behind the figures and their nudity. Some interpretations suggest that the work represents the Four Witches from classical or folkloric traditions, while others propose allegorical readings related to virtues and vices, or the four elements.

Dürer's mastery of the engraving technique is evident in the varied textures and the play of light and shadow across the figures, which lend the scene a three-dimensional quality. The precise lines and careful hatching demonstrate his ability to convey form and volume, as well as his attention to anatomical detail, which was informed by his interest in humanist ideals and the study of proportion.

"Die Vier Hexen" is significant not only for its technical brilliance but also for its ambiguous content, which has intrigued and puzzled art historians for centuries. The work is emblematic of Dürer's intellectual engagement with the themes of his time, as well as his pioneering role in elevating the status of the print as a serious and independent art form during the Renaissance.
