Cellule Auriculaire

Odilon Redon

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a close-up view of a face in profile. The person's head and neck are captured within a circular frame. The person is shown in a side position, gazing downward. The facial features are softly sketched, with a prominent focus on the nose and the downward-closed eyes. The hair is dark and covers part of the forehead and ear. There appears to be an earring visible. The background is a textured, dark tonal surface with light and shadow creating a soft, dreamlike atmosphere around the figure.
