About the Item
Hans Scherfig, Danish 1907-1979
"Circe Transforming Odysseus’ Men into Swine" (Kirke forvandler Odysseus' mænd til svin).
Watercolour and indian ink on paper.
Sheet size: 21×33 cm.
Signed: Scherfig, 1943
Framed in gold-painted wood and glass.
This artwork depicts a scene from Homer’s Odyssey, where the sorceress Circe uses her magic to transform Odysseus’ men into swine. Scherfig’s distinctive naive style captures the transformation in a way that is both whimsical and symbolic, reflecting his unique blend of humor and storytelling in visual art.
The piece was exhibited at the Corner art exhibition in Denmark in 1943 and again in 1981.
