Und Doch! 1883

"Und Doch!", created in 1883 by German artist Max Klinger, is a striking example of Symbolism in art. The drawing depicts a lone, nude figure standing in a pool of water, arms raised towards a cloudy sky. The figure's pose and the enigmatic atmosphere suggest themes of isolation, defiance, and the search for meaning. Klinger's use of ink and wash creates a dramatic contrast of light and dark, enhancing the emotional impact of the work.
