"Huldigung (Homage)" is a 19th century etching by German artist Max Klinger. This particular piece, Plate VI, is part of a larger series of etchings, "Ein Handschuh (A Glove)." The artwork depicts a rocky shore, a turbulent sea, and a pair of poles with mysterious, almost spectral objects on them. Klinger was known for his use of symbolism and complex narratives, which adds to the intrigue surrounding this striking piece.
