Yearnings 1881

"Yearnings" is a powerful etching by Max Klinger, created in 1881. It depicts a solitary figure, head bowed, in the foreground, surrounded by a stark and lonely landscape. The figure's posture and the overall sense of isolation evoke a feeling of deep melancholy and longing. Klinger's use of rich, dark tones further emphasizes the emotional weight of the scene. The artwork is a testament to Klinger's skill in capturing complex psychological states through evocative imagery, and it continues to resonate with viewers today.
