Three sisters 1964

Balthus's 1964 painting, "Three Sisters," depicts three young women in an interior setting. The composition is characterized by a sense of stillness and ambiguity. The central figure, dressed in a pink dress, sits on a couch, while two other figures are positioned on either side of her. The painting is known for its dreamlike quality and its exploration of the themes of youth, innocence, and sexuality. The artist's signature style, marked by a meticulous attention to detail, is evident in the rendering of the figures' clothing and the interior space.
