Dramatic and Grandiose with Her Face like that of a Druid Priestess 1887

"Dramatic and Grandiose with Her Face like that of a Druid Priestess" is a charcoal drawing by Odilon Redon, a leading figure in the Symbolist movement. Created in 1887, the work showcases Redon's signature style, blending realistic depictions with dreamlike imagery. The subject, a woman's profile, is rendered in a stark and dramatic fashion, with heavy shadows and stark contrasts. The title, "Dramatic and Grandiose with Her Face like that of a Druid Priestess," alludes to the subject's mysterious and otherworldly quality. The work is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago.
