This illustration, “Young Woman Riding a Centaur” by Gerda Wegener, depicts a young woman riding a centaur through a forest clearing. The scene is depicted with fantastical elements, including the centaur and a small bird flying in the background. The woman, clad in a flower garland, appears to be smiling and enjoying the ride, while the centaur, with its human torso and horse-like body, appears strong and muscular. This whimsical image exemplifies Wegener's artistic style, known for its dreamy and alluring depictions of mythical creatures and female figures. The artist's work is often associated with the Art Deco movement, notable for its bold geometric forms and decorative patterns, seen here in the depiction of the foliage and floral garland.
