Woman with outstretched arm 1868

Odilon Redon's "Woman with Outstretched Arm" (1868) is a charcoal drawing that exemplifies the artist's exploration of symbolism and dreamlike imagery. The composition features a solitary female figure in a flowing garment, partially obscured by a shadowy rock formation. The woman's outstretched arm and the dark, swirling sky above suggest a sense of unease and mystery. The piece is characteristic of Redon's early work, which often depicted fantastical scenes and explored the subconscious mind.
