Profile in an Arch 1905

Odilon Redon's "Profile in an Arch" (1905) is a pastel drawing that exemplifies his signature style of dreamy, symbolist imagery. The artwork features a delicate female profile framed within an arch, her face appearing wistful and introspective. The background is rendered in soft, ethereal hues of green, blue, and gold, hinting at a hazy, otherworldly atmosphere. The hazy background and the mysterious nature of the subject matter are hallmarks of Redon's artistic practice, which often explored themes of dreams, memory, and the subconscious.
