"The Angel of Destiny" is a haunting charcoal and wash drawing by French Symbolist artist Odilon Redon, known for his exploration of the subconscious. The drawing features a shadowy figure, reminiscent of an angel, perched on a cliff, gazing out at a vast, desolate landscape. The figure's melancholic pose, coupled with the unsettling atmosphere of the setting, evokes a sense of existential dread and the inevitability of fate, making it a quintessential example of Redon's signature style, characterized by its dreamlike imagery and emphasis on the psychological.
