"The Vigil" (1940) by Paul Delvaux depicts a nude woman with a wreath of leaves on her head, standing in a surreal setting. The woman's gaze is downward, creating a sense of introspection and mystery. The background features a stark white wall and a tiled floor, juxtaposed with a landscape of rocks and a distant mountain range. Delvaux, known for his dreamlike and evocative imagery, explores themes of solitude, femininity, and the subconscious in this signature work of Surrealism.
