More about this artwork

Drawing for the Short Story The Wise Men's Well from Selma Lagerlöf, created by the Slovak artist Cyprián Majerník between 1930 and 1939, captures the essence of Lagerlöf's narrative through expressive line work. The artwork features a striking group of figures that embody a profound narrative depth, as they appear in varied stances and expressions.The central figure stands imposingly with a bold, thick beard and a piercing gaze, suggesting leadership or a significant role in the group. Flanked by companions who are equally rugged but vary in stature and demeanor, these characters could be interpreted as wise men on a purposeful journey, reflective of the artwork's title. To the right, a slightly hunched figure with a walking stick adds to the sense of travel or pilgrimage, potentially toward the mythic well mentioned in Lagerlöf's title.The rapid, sketch-like quality of the drawing injects a sense of immediacy and motion, communicating the urgency or importance of the wise men’s quest. Majerník's use of minimal detail focuses the viewer's attention on the figures’ expressions and postures, which are evocative of the story’s underlying themes.
