Italian term or phrase: ideale péndant
Describing work by Giorgio de Chirico.

"... mentre Eugenio Montale ne acquistò l’ideale péndant, 'La confessione'."

Now, I know that 'pendant' can be used to describe one of a pair of artworks, a sort of companion piece to another artwork. And I know in Italian, it can be used in a similar way, to describe one of two matching items, one of a pair, a counterpart to something.

I'm not clear here if "ideale pendant" is an established thing, both words together, or if it is a "pendant" that is being described in some way as "ideale".

There's no indication of what the work might be a companion piece to.

This may be the actual work, although I'm not 100% sure. The date would fit. It may be a clue, in any case.
