Yachts at Royan 1902

"Yachts at Royan" (1902) by Odilon Redon is a pastel drawing depicting a harbor scene with a cluster of sailboats at anchor. Redon, known for his symbolic and dreamlike imagery, captures the essence of a tranquil seascape with soft, hazy hues and a subtle, atmospheric quality. The composition, with its emphasis on the overlapping sails and the distant horizon, creates a sense of depth and tranquility. Redon's use of pastel adds a delicate touch to the scene, creating a sense of both fragility and permanence. This drawing is a testament to the artist's ability to evoke emotion and mood through the simple means of pastel on paper.
