Perversite (Perversity)

Odilon Redon

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person from the shoulders up, with their head turned slightly to the side. The person's face is positioned in profile, with distinct facial features including a refined nose and subtle chin. The person has short, textured hair styled close to the scalp. They appear to be wearing draped fabric, with the surrounding background mainly dark to create a contrast. The composition emphasizes light and shadow, giving it a dramatic and classical appearance.
