I happened to see this "Violon" sheet music:
https://www.scribd.com/doc/797.....nn-Tiersen
I guess a "violon" is a violin. I'm in some doubt only because this music calls for a three-note chord, the notes being half notes: G3, D4, and D5.
I have heard of running the bow quickly over more than two strings and calling it a chord of more than two notes. But these are half notes.
How is this supposed to be played?

Usually 2 and 2. Use your own musical judgment as to how long each double stop is played but first the bottom two notes and cross over with only a slight change in your bowing angle to hit the upper two. The open G will continue to resonate as well giving you all three notes for a while.
It is possible to play all three notes at once but hard to maintain it for a full two beats. Depends on the tempo as well.
