Saint-Antoine...A travers ses longs cheveux qui lui couvraient la figure, j'ai cru reconnaitre Ammonaria (Saint Anthony: "Beneathe her long hair , which covered her face, I thought I recognized Ammonaria)

Odilon Redon

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two figures in a dramatic scene. The drawing is in a monochromatic, textured style that plays with light and shadow. The central figure is standing with legs crossed and one arm raised. They are in front of a large column. A second figure is partially visible to the left, also in a dynamic posture. The background is dark and textured, creating a moody atmosphere. The drawing conveys a sense of narrative and emotion through its use of line and shading.
