More about this artwork

"Portrait of Miss Jeanne Chaîne" by Odilon Redon, painted in 1903, is a compelling work that invites admiration through its tender depiction of its subject. In this portrait, Miss Jeanne Chaîne is presented in a contemplative pose, seated with her hands lightly resting on her lap. Redon captures her with a soft, introspective gaze, suggesting a moment of inner reflection.The painting is noted for its exquisite use of color and texture. Jeanne is dressed in a remarkable blouse of pink, which faintly echoes the tones of her flesh, set against a deep blue skirt that intensifies her presence. The background is an ethereal mixture of blues and greens, possibly representing foliage, which adds a dreamlike aura to the composition. This merging of the figure with the somewhat abstracted background is indicative of Redon's transition from his earlier, more symbolic work to a style that embraced the emerging influence of Impressionism.Redon’s technique with its unique brushwork and use of light, highlights his ability to blend realism with a sense of the ethereal. The overall effect is a sensitive portrayal that beckons viewers to ponder the thoughts and emotions of Miss Chaîne.

Odilon Redon was a French symbolist painter, printmaker, draughtsman and pastellist. Early in his career, both before and after fighting in the Franco-Prussian War, he worked almost exclusively in charcoal and lithography, works referred to as noirs. 

During the 1890s he began working in pastel and oils, which quickly became his favourite medium, abandoning his previous style of noirs completely after 1900. He also developed a keen interest in Hindu and Budhist religion and culture, which increasingly showed in his work.

He is perhaps best known today for the "dreamlike" paintings created in the first decade of the 20th century, which were heavily inspired by Japanese art and which, while continuing to take inspiration from nature, heavily flirted with abstraction. His work is considered a precursor to both Dadaism and Surrealism.
