About this work

This painting depicts three women dressed in dark attire, seated in a room. The woman on the right appears to be the eldest, while the two on the left seem to be younger. The background of the room is a muted blue-green color. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting, with the women's faces and clothing standing out against the softer background. The painting is a beautiful example of the artist's work, and it can be found at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
