Drie schikgodinnen 1830

"Drie schikgodinnen" (The Three Fates) is an 1830 lithograph by Etienne Achille Réveil, a French artist known for his Neoclassical style. The artwork depicts the three Fates, Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos, from Greek mythology, who were said to control the thread of life. The Fates are shown in a classical pose, with Clotho holding a spindle, Lachesis holding the thread of life, and Atropos holding shears to cut the thread. Réveil's meticulous line work creates a sense of both beauty and inevitability, reflecting the Fates' power over life and death.
