This engraving, created by Giorgio Ghisi between 1558-1559, depicts the three Fates, Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos, from Roman mythology. Clotho, the youngest, spins the thread of life, Lachesis measures it, and Atropos cuts it, symbolizing their control over destiny and life. Ghisi, known for his mastery of line and detail, captures the figures with a classical air, highlighting their roles with subtle gestures and tools. The engraving's intricate detail and composition contribute to its timeless appeal.
