The Child in a Sphere of Light 1900

"The Child in a Sphere of Light" is a pastel drawing created in 1900 by French symbolist artist Odilon Redon. It depicts a young girl's profile enveloped in a luminous orb, suggestive of the celestial and spiritual. The subtle pastel tones, soft contours, and dreamlike atmosphere embody Redon's signature style, which sought to evoke emotions and ideas through visual imagery. This piece is a prime example of Redon's fascination with the subconscious and the exploration of dreams.
