Stamford after Brunch by John Currin (2000)

Art Institute of Chicago
Currin's style has been described as "American grotesque," which I think is apt.

Three young women sitting huddled together on a couch clinking martini glasses and enjoying cigars. They have soft, childlike arms and improbably scrawny, angular legs. In a large window behind them is a winter landscape.

It’s like the artist had heard of things like “body”, “face”, and “hands” but only secondhand, and tried to paint them anyway.

Had the artist name and date not been provided I would have said it was AI.
