"Susanne" is a 1909 etching by Danish artist Oluf Hartmann (1879-1910). The print features a dark, distorted figure, possibly representing Susanne, in a tangled embrace with two other figures. Hartmann's expressive style and the unsettling imagery evoke a sense of vulnerability and perhaps even a critique of societal norms. This print, now held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a testament to Hartmann's unique artistic voice and the powerful emotional impact of his works.
