"Christabel and Her Image" is a painting by Australian artist Charles Blackman, known for his distinctive style blending realism and symbolism. The painting features two figures, a young girl in red boots on the left, and a ghostly image of herself on the right. The contrast between the two figures highlights themes of self-identity and the duality of human experience, characteristic of Blackman's oeuvre. This enigmatic work captivates viewers with its surreal and dreamlike atmosphere.
