The Shadow

Odilon Redon, 1896–1900

The image shows flowing lines forming an abstract composition with an outline of a human profile. The shapes and lines intertwine, suggesting a wavy, water-like effect surrounding the figure. The central shape resembles a woman's face in profile, with contours suggesting hair or a hood draped over her head. The abstract design evokes the emergence of familiar elements within dynamic lines.
