About the piece

Created in 1901, this dreamlike work by Odilon Redon exemplifies the artist's move toward luminous, decorative panels later in his career. The composition features slender tree trunks on the right, balanced by a hazy arrangement of flowers and organic forms floating in a field of atmospheric yellow, showcasing Redon's unique mastery of pastel and oil.
