Bouquet of Flowers 

This pastel drawing by Odilon Redon, a prominent Symbolist painter, depicts a bouquet of flowers in a blue vase. The artist utilizes soft, hazy lines and subtle colors to create a dreamy and ethereal atmosphere. The flowers, primarily irises, are rendered with delicate strokes, suggesting a sense of fragility and fleeting beauty. Redon's work often explored themes of nature, dreams, and the subconscious, and this piece reflects his fascination with the delicate and ephemeral. The use of pastel contributes to the softness and ethereal quality of the artwork.
