A golden feline with a woman’s face leans into a young man’s shoulder. Their eyes match. Their closeness is uncanny. Painted by Symbolist master Fernand Khnopff, this enigmatic scene—sometimes called The Sphinx—blurs seduction, surrender, and self-reflection. Send to someone who enjoys a beautiful riddle.
