Siesta II (from the series Etched Sketches) 1879

"Siesta II" is an etching by Max Klinger, created in 1879. It depicts a woman reclining in a hammock beneath a flowering tree, a panther sitting in the foreground and a distant mountain range in the background. The print exemplifies Klinger's characteristically dramatic use of light and shadow, and the composition evokes a sense of peaceful solitude. This piece is part of Klinger's series "Etched Sketches," which explores themes of sensuality, dreams, and the subconscious.
