"Frontispiece for Point de lendemain" is an etching created in 1867 by Belgian artist Felicien Rops. The image depicts a woman standing on a platform surrounded by figures. The scene is framed by an elaborate border, suggesting a symbolic and perhaps allegorical interpretation. Rops was a prominent figure in the Symbolist movement and is known for his provocative and often satirical depictions of human nature. This artwork is a prime example of his style and explores themes of desire, temptation, and the complexities of human existence. The print is currently held by the Art Institute of Chicago.
