"Weg der Befleckung" - "Daneben!!!" (Erotisk sceneri) 1857 - 1920

"Weg der Befleckung" - "Daneben!!!" (Erotisk sceneri), created between 1857 and 1920, is a pen-and-ink drawing by German artist Max Klinger. The drawing depicts a couple in a bedroom, with a skull on a shelf behind them. The scene is suggestive of a sexual encounter, and the title translates to "Path of Defilement - Beside It!!! (Erotic Scene)". Klinger's work often explored themes of sexuality and the darker aspects of human nature.
