Oedipus en de sfinx Possibly 1864 - 1866

"Oedipus en de sfinx" is a drawing created by French artist Firmin Gillot between 1864 and 1866. The artwork depicts the Greek mythological figure Oedipus confronting the Sphinx, a creature with the head of a woman, the body of a lion, and the wings of an eagle. The drawing is executed in a linear style, with delicate lines that create a sense of movement and drama. This drawing, likely a study for a larger work, showcases Gillot's mastery of line and his interest in classical mythology.
