Saint Sebastian

Odilon Redon, 1910/1912

This painting displays a man standing upright, with his back against a tree. His hands are behind his back, and his face is turned to the right.

He is pierced in several placed by thin arrows. The tree behind him is light gray, dotted with small, sparse red leaves. The ground below him is filled with colorful patterns, including green, red, orange, and blue tones against dark reddish-brown. There is a large patch of white on the left side. Behind the tree, the light blue sky is covered in thin, light gray clouds.
