The Enchantress | Heinrich Lossow | 1868

In an overgrown garden, a man in an elaborate eighteenth-century coat leans forward to kiss the stone face of a sphinx. His hand rests against her foreleg, while her impassive gaze and ornamented headdress remain untouched by his embrace. Lossow surrounds the pair with glossy leaves, climbing roses and a half-hidden iron gate. The distinction between warm velvet, living skin and cold sculpture is central to the scene’s strange attraction: an ardent human gesture offered to an apparently unresponsive creature.
