The Profit 1915 — Fine Art

The Profit 1915 shows a quiet interior with long shadows stretched over a pavement. A few buildings stand behind a low archway. The shapes feel still and a little empty, as if the street is waiting. Giorgio de Chirico paints the scene with flat colour fields and sharp lines.

This is a fine art print set in a frame with a back panel. The frame holds the sheet flat and the back panel keeps it tidy when you move it. The paper is matte, so the long shadow stays soft and does not shine under a lamp.

It fits a narrow landing wall between the stairs and the bathroom. From the top step you notice the archway first, then the shadow line under the buildings. At the sink you look up and see the empty pavement with its quiet edge.
