"Underwater Vision" is a captivating pastel drawing by symbolist artist Odilon Redon. The artwork features a dark, amorphous shape reminiscent of a sea creature or an underwater cavern, contrasting with the warm, ochre background. Sparse, translucent violet shapes add an element of mystery and depth, hinting at the vastness of the ocean. The piece reflects Redon's fascination with the subconscious and the dreamlike, inviting the viewer to explore the depths of their own imagination.
