And he had in his right hand seven stars; and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword

Odilon Redon, 1899

The image shows dark lines and shadowy forms creating a tall silhouette. A central figure is outlined with softer, lighter lines, giving it a glowing appearance. The figure merges with a dark background, with defining lines suggesting familiar objects such as a face and a sword. The figure resembles a person with a solemn expression, holding a sword pointed upward from their mouth, reminiscent of a medieval knight or a mystical being, with a cloak-like garment and stars adorning the extended arm.
