La Peur (Fear)

Odilon Redon

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a figure on horseback traveling through a rugged, rocky landscape. The scene is viewed from a slightly elevated perspective, showing mountains meeting the sky on the horizon. Clouds fill the sky above the rocky terrain. The artwork uses intricate etching with linear strokes to define textures and details. Sepia tones create an aged atmosphere. Cliffs and peaks are seen in the distance, with the horse and rider serving as a focal point in the foreground.
