A sphinx is a mythical creature found in various cultures.
Not every culture depicts the sphinx in the same way. The Greek sphinx is half woman (head), half eagle (body), but in Egypt the combination half man (head), half lion (body) is most common (although there are also so-called criosphinxes, which have a ram's head).
Karl Wilhelm Diefenbach (21 February 1851, Hadamar, then part of the Duchy of Nassau, now Hesse - 15 December 1913) was a German painter and social reformer. He was a pioneer of the naturist and peace movements. His ideas included living in harmony with nature and rejection of monogamy, turning away from any religion (although he was a theologian) and a vegetarian diet.
As a painter, Diefenbach was an independent representative of symbolism.
