The Three Goddesses

About this work

This print shows three naked women standing in a forest, each holding a different object—a crown, a staff, and a cloth. Around them, cherubs float in the sky, and a baby plays on the ground. The women look calm but busy, like they’re preparing for something important. The print’s border has French text calling it *Les Trois Déesses* (The Three Goddesses), and it’s signed by the artist Trière. The scene feels like a mix of classical and mythical stories, with the women acting like goddesses from old tales. If this scene interests you, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see the print in person.
