Les trois figures 

"Les trois figures" is a haunting, minimalist work by Belgian Symbolist painter Leon Spilliaert. The painting depicts three figures in dark cloaks and hats, standing in an indistinct, almost ethereal landscape. Their faces are obscured by shadows, creating a sense of mystery and anonymity. The figures are rendered in a simplified, almost skeletal style, further emphasizing the mood of isolation and melancholy. Spilliaert's masterful use of light and shadow creates a dramatic and atmospheric effect, inviting viewers to ponder the figures' inner lives and the meaning behind their enigmatic presence.
