"The Servant" is a charcoal and pastel drawing by symbolist artist Odilon Redon, known for his exploration of dreams and the subconscious. The artwork depicts a young woman in a flowing dress, holding a platter, her eyes wide and expression seemingly filled with anxiety. The soft, muted colors and hazy background create a sense of mystery and dream-like atmosphere, typical of Redon's style. The small size of the work, measuring 23 x 18 cm, intensifies the intimate and introspective quality of the scene. This artwork is a fine example of Redon's exploration of human emotions and the hidden depths of the psyche, using subtle symbolism and evocative imagery.
