A striking early-20th-century illustration by Władysław Theodore Benda, this dramatic composition captures a moment of heightened emotion and psychological tension. Rendered with expressive line work and theatrical contrast, the scene reflects Benda’s background in illustration and stage design, blending narrative intensity with refined draftsmanship. The result is a powerful figurative artwork that feels both cinematic and unsettling—ideal for collectors drawn to storytelling, mood, and early modern illustration.
