AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This artwork is an original photolithograph by the world-famous surrealist artist Max Ernst from 1972.
It bears the title “Idole” (often also listed as Untitled (Mythological Figures)) and comes from the graphic series illustrating the play “Judith. Tragedy in Three Acts” by Jean Giraudoux. The edition was published at that time by Manus Presse in Stuttgart. The image shows stylized, mythological animal figures – a larger, dark-clad figure with horns and beside it a smaller, cat- or lion-like creature against a warm red background with an ornamental sun.
