Puis l'ange prit l'encensoir (And the angel took the censer)

Odilon Redon

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a figure standing with long hair flowing over their shoulders. The person has closed eyes and a serene facial expression. They are clothed in a long robe, and holding a thurible in one hand with smoke rising from it. Faint outlines of wings surround the figure, and the background has textured light and dark shading.
