Circe II
1880 - 1932
Step into the jungle of Greek mythology with this striking Art Deco print! Here, the legendary sorceress Circe isn't turning men into pigs, but rather posing with a sleek, massive black panther that dominates the foreground. Van der Stok uses bold, high-contrast shapes to create a lush, tropical atmosphere, blending the wildness of nature with the geometric elegance typical of the early 20th century. The woman's stylized profile and the intricate patterns on her clothing give the piece an exotic, almost cinematic feel, capturing the era's fascination with the mysterious femme fatale.
