from Thorheiten 1901

"from Thorheiten" is a satirical illustration by German artist Thomas Theodor Heine, created in 1901. The black and white image depicts a scene of high society, likely in a royal palace. A king, in a uniform, sits with his head in his hands at a table. He is surrounded by worried courtiers, including a queen. The peacock in the foreground adds to the scene's air of absurdity, reflecting the satirical nature of Heine's work. This illustration is characteristic of Heine's style, which used caricature to comment on contemporary society.
