About this work

This etching, titled The Enigma (L'énigme) and created by Albert Besnard in 1900, shows a dimly lit bedroom where a reclining figure lies on a bed with white linen in the foreground. Two women stand near the bed in the shadowy background, one bending over and the other leaning against a dark column or curtain. The strong contrast between the pale bedding and the darkened room creates a quiet, mysterious atmosphere.
