Symphony in White, No. III 1908

"Symphony in White, No. III" is a 1908 etching by Peter von Halm, currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago. The piece depicts two women, one reclining on a bed, and the other seated on a stool. The delicate lines of the etching emphasize the soft drapery of their white garments, creating a sense of etherealness and grace. This work is representative of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, which emphasized beauty and romanticism. The soft, dreamlike imagery of this etching suggests a scene of intimate conversation, perhaps between sisters or close friends.
