Verified profile

The lithograph is derived in counterpart from a painting from 1894 preserved in the Ramsus Meyer Collection in Bergen. Of the same subject, also known as the Sphinx, two other engraved versions are known, in the same vein of the subject. Three different stages of female life are represented by the three figures, on the right a young girl in a long light dress looks confidently towards the future, in the center a naked woman with open legs represents sexual desire and passion, while on the left the woman in black with wide eyes and a haggard face symbolizes disillusionment. In the painting there is also a man, with a sorrowful expression, perhaps the portrait of the same artist.
