"Victim" is a painting by French Symbolist artist Gustave Moreau. The painting depicts a woman, possibly Salome, with a dramatic expression, seemingly pleading or in despair. The hands of an unseen figure hovering above her are depicted in a soft, ethereal manner, contrasting with the woman's strong, yet vulnerable, body. The painting, now housed in the Musée National Gustave Moreau in Paris, is a powerful example of Moreau's exploration of themes of love, death, and the feminine in his works. The title, "Victim," suggests a sense of helplessness and suffering that resonates with the viewer.
