This rare and evocative aquatint etching by Ernst Fuchs, Sphinx Mystagoga, is the sixth plate from the 1967 folio Die Sieben Bilder und Sprüche der Sphinx, published by Galerie Sydow in Frankfurt. Limited to an edition of just 99, this impression is hand-signed and numbered "63/99" by the artist in pencil.
Fuchs, a co-founder of the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism, blends intricate detail, rich coloration, and mystical symbolism in this work. The central image—a mythological sphinx—embodies the themes of transformation, secrecy, and the esoteric, rendered with a dreamlike atmosphere made possible through the aquatint etching technique.
This piece is presented in a custom frame measuring approximately 24.75 inches high by 17.75 inches wide, with a depth of 0.75 inches. The visible image area is approximately 18 x 12 inches. The work is pencil-signed, confirming its authenticity and collectible value.
