About this work

This is a drawing of a person's head and shoulders. The person has long hair and their eyes are closed. They are facing the viewer but looking down. The drawing is done in dark lines on a light brown background. The drawing is quite simple, with just a few lines used to suggest the shape of the person's face and hair. The artist has used a range of line weights to create depth and texture in the drawing. This drawing is an example of the work of Odilon Redon, a French artist who was associated with the Impressionist and Realist movements.
