This lithograph, created in 1896 by Odilon Redon, is part of his series *Different Peoples Inhabit the Countries of the Ocean*, a collection of 24 images inspired by dreams and the subconscious. The artwork depicts a dark and enigmatic scene with a central focus on a white horse, perhaps a symbol of purity or light, emerging from a shadowy abyss. Scattered across the black canvas are celestial bodies, adding to the mystical and otherworldly nature of the piece. Redon, known for his use of black and white, explores the realm of the imaginary, challenging viewers to interpret his cryptic imagery.
