De sfinx 1920

"De Sfinx" (1920) is a print by Belgian artist Bernard Essers (1893-1945). The artwork depicts a massive, reclining female figure, likely a sphinx, with a crowd of people gathered at her feet and a landscape behind her. The print is a fine example of Essers' expressive style, known for its use of dark lines and dramatic compositions. The scene evokes a sense of mystery and grandeur, with the colossal sphinx casting a long shadow over the tiny figures beneath her.
