Beatrice c. 1892

"Beatrice" is a charcoal drawing by French Symbolist artist Odilon Redon, created around 1892. The work depicts a veiled woman, Beatrice, standing against a soft, ethereal background, possibly representing a dreamlike state. Redon's use of charcoal creates a delicate, almost spectral effect, highlighting the ethereal quality of the subject. The piece reflects Redon's exploration of the unseen world and the evocative power of symbolism in art. It is now part of the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago.
