"Silence" is a lithograph by Henri Martin, a French artist, created between 1894 and 1897. It depicts a woman with a crown of thorns, her face veiled, standing against a dark, textured background. The image is dominated by shades of blue and grey, creating a sense of melancholy and introspection. The delicate use of line and the ethereal figure are characteristic of Martin's style, which drew inspiration from symbolism and the Art Nouveau movement. Today, "Silence" is on display at The Art Institute of Chicago.
