Perversité

Odilon Redon

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the head and shoulders of a person in a three-quarter view, with their body turned slightly away and their head inclined towards the viewer. The person's facial features are delicately rendered, with prominent eyes, a nose, and a mouth. The hair is styled close to the scalp with fine details suggesting a textured surface. The person is not wearing any visible clothing, leaving the shoulders and back partially exposed. The surrounding area is dark, contrasting against the illuminated form of the figure. The background does not contain any details, maintaining a deep, dark space that highlights the figure's features.
