Study for the three witches in Macbeth

A painting of three hooded old women seen in profile, their pale faces emerging from a dark background as they lean over a pale cloth, one bony hand reaching into the left foreground. Dim, smoky lighting and tight framing create an eerie, tense mood, matching the record's study for the three witches in Macbeth.

Español: Estudio de las tres brujas de Macbeth

Pintura de tres mujeres ancianas encapuchadas, vistas de perfil, con los rostros pálidos emergiendo de un fondo oscuro mientras se inclinan sobre una tela clara; una mano huesuda aparece en el primer plano izquierdo. La iluminación tenue y humeante y el encuadre cerrado crean un ambiente inquietante y tenso, acorde al estudio de las tres brujas de Macbeth.

Português: Estudo das três bruxas de Macbeth

Pintura de três velhas encapuzadas, vistas de perfil, com os rostos pálidos emergindo de um fundo escuro enquanto se inclinam sobre um tecido claro; uma mão ossuda surge no primeiro plano à esquerda. A iluminação fraca e esfumaçada e o enquadramento fechado criam um clima inquietante e tenso, condizente com o estudo das três bruxas de Macbeth.
