Odilon Redon's 1876 charcoal drawing, *Devil take a head in the air*, is a striking example of his Symbolist style. The composition depicts a winged figure, possibly a devil or a demon, holding aloft a disembodied human head against a hazy, pale background. The use of shadows and stark contrasts creates an eerie atmosphere, hinting at themes of death, the subconscious, and the power of the unseen. Redon's art is characterized by its dreamlike imagery and exploration of the psychological depths.
