National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a winged creature with a humanoid face surrounded by text. The drawing showcases intricate line work to render a dark figure with broad wings and a mysterious face. The creature appears to emerge from the shadows, with fine lines and dark shading adding depth and texture to the form. Below this image, there is text in an elegant serif font, which reads: "A Gustave Flaubert six dessins pour la Tentation de St Antoine par Odilon Redon."
