Orpheus c. 1903 - 1910

This pastel drawing, *Orpheus* (c. 1903-1910), by French symbolist artist Odilon Redon, depicts the mythological figure of Orpheus with his lyre in a shadowy landscape. Redon's use of muted colors and soft outlines creates a dreamlike atmosphere that evokes the otherworldly nature of the subject. The work is a testament to Redon's fascination with the mystical and the subconscious.
