"Head to the Left" is a delicate charcoal drawing by the French symbolist artist Odilon Redon. The work, housed at the Städel Museum, depicts a simplified, almost cartoonish depiction of the Madonna and Child with another young figure. The simple lines of the drawing and the use of light and shadow create a sense of mystery and ethereal beauty, characteristic of Redon's work. His distinct style was a fusion of realism and symbolism, exploring themes of dreams and the subconscious.
