Le tre sorelle (Brandani 27)

Giorgio de Chirico's "Le tre sorelle" is a hand-coloured etching from 1972 that exemplifies the artist's continued engagement with classical and metaphysical themes in his later career. This artist's proof, inscribed as hand-coloured and printed by Alberto Caprini in Rome, demonstrates de Chirico's mastery of the printmaking medium and his characteristic use of muted, haunting palettes to convey enigmatic narratives. The substantial sheet size of approximately 50 by 70 centimetres allows the three sisters, rendered with the artist's distinctive stillness and compositional restraint, to command considerable presence on the paper.
