Pfarrer Bion is a 1894 oil by Ottilie Roederstein, a Impressionism work, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
This portrait painting features a man with a long, reddish-brown beard and hair, dressed in a dark blue jacket with black buttons. He sits with his hands resting on his lap, his right hand on top of his left. The background is a deep red color. The subject's attire and hairstyle suggest a formal or professional setting, possibly from the late 19th century. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the portrait.
