Caresses | Fernand Khnopff | 1896 Giovanni da Modena and emotional depthAbout the artwork: In Caresses (1896), Fernand Khnopff presents a haunting, dreamlike encounter between a youthful, androgynous figure and a female sphinxhalf woman, half beast.

The sphinxs gesture suggests intimacy, yet her feline body implies danger, evoking the archetype of the femme fatale so central to Symbolist art.
