<div><font face=Lato size=3>"Study for Three Sisters," a 1954 mixed media drawing by Balthus, offers an intimate glimpse into the artist’s preliminary creative process. Executed in pencil with subtle blue watercolor accents, this sketch captures two figures—a reclining woman and a seated child—arranged with a spontaneous yet deliberate energy on a couch. The loose, expressive lines and minimal detailing reveal the immediacy and personality of the subjects, contrasting with the more formal and structured compositions of his final paintings.

"دراسة لثلاث شقيقات"، رسم بالتوس عام 1954 وهو رسم بوسائط مختلطة رسمه بالتوس عام 1954، ويقدم لمحة حميمة عن العملية الإبداعية الأولية للفنان. تم تنفيذ هذا الرسم بالقلم الرصاص مع لمسات دقيقة بالألوان المائية الزرقاء، ويصور شخصيتين - امرأة مستلقية وطفلة جالسة - مرتبتين بطريقة عفوية ومتعمدة في نفس الوقت على أريكة. وتكشف الخطوط الفضفاضة والتعبيرية والتفاصيل البسيطة عن فورية وشخصية الشخصيتين، على النقيض من التراكيب الأكثر رسمية وتنظيمًا في لوحاته النهائية. وباعتبارها دراسة للعمل الرئيسي "الشقيقات الثلاث" ضمن سلسلة من اللوحات الهامة التي تحمل نفس الاسم، فإنها توفر نافذة على تطور بالتوس، وتظهر كيف صقل مواضيعه بمرور الوقت وتعامل مع تصويرها بعناية فائقة.





رأى بالتوس، مثل العديد من الفنانين الطليعيين في أوائل القرن العشرين مثل بول غوغان وإدوارد مونش وبابلو بيكاسو، الأطفال كأوعية للروح الخام غير المتشكلة، غير المتأثرة بالقيود المجتمعية، ونظر إلى مواضيع المراهقة كمصدر قوي للعمق النفسي والتعبير غير المقيد. ويضفي هذا المنظور على الرسم طابعاً رقيقاً وغامضاً في الوقت نفسه. يشمل المصدر نيكولاس فوكس ويبر، كاتب سيرة بالتوس الشهير، مما يضيف ثقلًا تاريخيًا للقطعة. ويوجد "رسم شقيق" ذو صلة في المجموعة الدائمة لمعهد شيكاغو للفنون، مما يؤكد أهميتها. لا يسلط هذا العمل الضوء على إتقان بالتوس للوسائط المختلطة فحسب، بل هو بمثابة دراسة مقنعة للشباب والحميمية، ويدعو المشاهدين إلى استكشاف التطور المدروس للفنان في مواضيعه الأيقونية.
