The Buddha is a 1895 by Odilon Redon, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a figure with a large, rounded body and a small head. The figure is drawn in black and white, with lots of lines and shading that make it look 3D. The figure is standing in front of a dark background, which makes it stand out. It's hard to tell what the figure is doing, but it seems to be looking down. The painting is done in a style that makes the figure look very real. If you want to see more paintings like this, you could look up the artist Odilon Redon.
Born Bertrand-Jean Redon on 20 April 1840 in Bordeaux, the artist adopted the name Odilon from his mother, Marie-Odile.
