Jacob Matham's 1587 engraving, "Drie schikgodinnen in een landschap" (Three Fates in a Landscape), depicts the three Greek goddesses of fate, the Moirai, in a circular composition. The three figures, Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos, are rendered with exquisite detail and are shown in a dramatic tableau, weaving the threads of fate in a mountainous landscape. The work is a powerful commentary on human destiny and the inevitability of fate.
