"Portrait De Charles Waltner" is a notable work by the French symbolist artist Odilon Redon, created in 1886. This portrait exemplifies Redon's unique approach to art, characterized by his use of dreamlike imagery and a focus on the inner world of his subjects. Charles Waltner, the subject of the portrait, was a renowned French engraver and a contemporary of Redon. The portrait is a testament to the friendship and mutual respect between the two artists.

Redon’s technique in this portrait is particularly striking. He employs a monochromatic palette, which was a common feature in his early works, to create a sense of depth and introspection. The use of charcoal and chalk allows for a range of textures and tones, giving the portrait a lifelike quality while also imbuing it with a sense of mystery. Redon’s skillful handling of light and shadow highlights Waltner’s features, particularly his intense gaze, which seems to penetrate the viewer’s own.

The composition of the portrait is simple yet effective. Waltner is depicted in a three-quarter view, a pose that was popular in portraiture for its ability to convey both the likeness and the personality of the sitter. The background is kept deliberately vague, focusing attention on Waltner’s face and expression. This technique is indicative of Redon’s symbolist approach, where the emphasis is on evoking an emotional response rather than providing a detailed, realistic depiction.

"Portrait De Charles Waltner" is an important piece within Redon’s oeuvre, reflecting his transition from the dark, monochromatic works of his early career to the more colorful and fantastical pieces that would define his later years. It also serves as a valuable historical document, capturing the likeness of one of the prominent figures in the French art world of the late 19th century. The portrait is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance.
