About the piece

Painted around 1904, this evocative profile portrait of fellow artist Paul Gauguin captures the essence of Odilon Redon's later colorist period. The sitter is depicted in dark silhouette, framed by a radiant golden glow and a decorative arrangement of blossoms, blending human observation with the mystical imagination of the Symbolist movement.
