1971
Three Squatting Sisters, Nepal, 1967 is a striking black-and-white photograph by Irving Penn, capturing three Nepali women in a traditional squatting pose with Penn's characteristic precision and dignified compositional elegance. The image reflects Penn's celebrated ethnographic series, in which he sought to document indigenous peoples and cultures with both artistic integrity and deep respect. This rare print, numbered 1/5 and flush-mounted on aluminum, represents the meticulous craftsmanship and archival significance that define Penn's most collectible works.
