"Embers Glow" is a print by the French artist Theodore Roussel. It is a dramatic image of a nude woman partially obscured by a red fabric, her face in shadow. The work, created between 1890 and 1897, is an example of the Symbolist art movement which used allegorical imagery and implied emotions to evoke a sense of mystery and intrigue. It is currently part of the permanent collection of The Art Institute of Chicago.
