Kerstin Hedeby (1926) - The Hidden Gathering

This expressive lithograph by Swedish artist Kerstin Hedeby presents a surreal and enigmatic scene in which several figures gather on a floating platform beneath a dramatic, dripping landscape. The monochromatic palette of black, beige and white gives the work a mysterious and dreamlike atmosphere. The unusual figures and symbolic setting create an imaginative composition open to interpretation.
