Psyche and her Sisters, plate 18 from Cupid and Psyche 1880

Max Klinger's "Psyche and Her Sisters" is an 1880 etching, the 18th plate from his "Cupid and Psyche" series. The work depicts a scene of dramatic classical mythology. The etching showcases the sisters of Psyche, who are seated on a portico, facing a lush landscape and a distant mountain range. This is a dramatic scene, framed by the portico and viewed through a narrow aperture, which creates a feeling of mystery and intrigue. The artwork is currently held at The Art Institute of Chicago.
