Head of a Woman 19th-20th century

This charcoal drawing, "Head of a Woman," by Odilon Redon, depicts a woman's head in profile, focusing on the subtle contours of her face and the delicate lines of her hair. Redon, a prominent figure in the Symbolist movement, often explored themes of dreams, mythology, and the subconscious, which are evident in this piece. The minimalist style and gestural lines give the drawing a sense of intimacy and introspection, highlighting the ephemeral nature of thought and emotion. The piece is housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art and offers viewers a glimpse into Redon's unique approach to portraiture and the human condition.
