Beatrice

Odilon Redon

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a portrait titled "Beatrice" by Odilon Redon. The portrait is of a woman shown from the chest up, facing left. Her hair is pulled back, with a few strands framing her face; a floral wreath or crown is on her head. The woman's features are rendered in soft, muted tones. The background is a light gray-beige color, with a blue floral pattern in the upper right corner. The overall color palette is subdued, with shades of yellow, gray, and blue. The image has a dreamy, ethereal quality, with the subject's face and form somewhat obscured. The artist's signature is in the bottom right corner.
