About the piece

Created around 1905 by Ivan Žabota, this Symbolist drawing, titled 'Vision,' employs expert cross-hatching and subtle washes to create a haunting, dreamlike atmosphere. The composition features a towering winged presence overlooking a group of figures in a stark, rocky environment, capturing a sense of profound spiritual or existential inquiry characteristic of the early 20th-century Symbolist movement.
