First a Pool of Water, Then a Prostitute, the Corner of a Temple, a Soldier's Face, a Chariot with Two White, Rearing Horses

Odilon Redon

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white image. The scene is divided into two main parts. The top part shows a woman, possibly a prostitute based on the title, sitting on a surface with her hands up to her face. She appears to be looking up. Her facial features are partially obscured. She wears a dark dress or robe with a light area around her. Next to her on the right is a clock and behind her a corner of a building or temple. The bottom part shows a body of water. There is a figure on or near the water, but it is quite dark. There are two white rearing horses in the background, attached to a chariot. A soldier's face is on the left side of the image. The overall mood is dark and dramatic.
