"Penelope Weaving a Shroud for Laertes, Her Father-in-Law, While She Awaits the Return of Her Husband Odysseus, 1895" is a significant work by the German symbolist artist Max Klinger (1857–1920). This artwork delves into the rich tapestry of Greek mythology, specifically focusing on the narrative of Penelope from Homer's epic, "The Odyssey." Penelope, celebrated for her fidelity and cunning, is depicted in the act of weaving a shroud for Laertes, Odysseus's father, as a stratagem to fend off her suitors by promising to choose one when the shroud is completed, only to unravel it each night to delay her decision. Klinger's portrayal is set against the backdrop of the late 19th century Symbolist movement, which emphasized the expression of emotional experience over physical reality.

Created in 1895, this piece reflects Klinger's fascination with classical antiquity and his ability to infuse these ancient stories with contemporary significance, exploring themes of longing, loyalty, and the human psyche. The artwork is emblematic of Klinger's broader oeuvre, which often intertwined mythological and dreamlike elements with a keen psychological depth. "Penelope Weaving a Shroud for Laertes, Her Father-in-Law, While She Awaits the Return of Her Husband Odysseus" stands as a testament to Klinger's mastery in visual storytelling and his contribution to the Symbolist movement, offering viewers a poignant glimpse into the enduring human condition through the lens of myth.
