"Aged Angel" is a charcoal and pastel drawing created in 1903 by the French symbolist artist Odilon Redon. The artwork features a large winged figure with a long beard, resting its head in its hand. The figure is rendered in shades of brown, set against a luminous blue background. This piece showcases Redon's signature style, characterized by a blend of realism and dreamlike imagery. The artist was known for exploring themes of the subconscious and the spiritual realm, often using symbolic figures and atmospheric backgrounds to convey his ideas.
