Alí Babá y los cuarenta ladrones lámina 12
1903
Max Slevogt brings the magic of *One Thousand and One Nights* to life in this energetic 1903 sketch. The brown tones depict a dramatic scene from *Ali Baba*, where two robed figures peer anxiously from a ledge while another character dives headfirst toward a pile of bodies below—likely the famous thieves hiding in their oil jars. As a leading German Impressionist, Slevogt uses loose, rapid strokes to capture the urgency and movement of the moment. This piece is part of a celebrated series of illustrations that showcase his mastery of narrative and form.
