"Portrait of Marie Botkine" is a notable artwork by the French Symbolist artist Odilon Redon (1840–1916). Created in 1906, this piece is part of Redon's exploration into the use of color, a departure from his earlier, more monochromatic charcoal drawings and lithographs known as "noirs." The portrait depicts Marie Botkine, a member of the Russian émigré community in France, showcasing Redon's interest in capturing the essence and personality of his subjects through his unique blend of realism and dream-like symbolism.

The artwork is characterized by its vibrant use of pastel, a medium Redon began to favor in the latter part of his career, allowing him to achieve a luminous, ethereal quality in his works. The portrait is notable for its emotional depth and the way it captures the introspective gaze of Marie Botkine, suggesting an inner life and a sense of mystery that is quintessentially Symbolist. The use of soft, diffused light and a muted palette, with an emphasis on blues and greens, contributes to the dreamy, contemplative atmosphere of the piece.

"Portrait of Marie Botkine" is reflective of Redon's transition from the "black" phase of his early career, dominated by dark, fantastical imagery, to his later, more colorful works that often explored themes of nature, myth, and the human psyche. This piece, like many of Redon's later portraits, demonstrates his ability to blend the real with the imaginary, creating works that are deeply personal yet universally resonant.

The portrait is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its significance in the context of Redon's oeuvre, representing a key moment in the artist's lifelong exploration of the interplay between light, color, and form. It remains an important work for scholars and admirers of Symbolism, offering insight into the movement's broader themes of introspection, spirituality, and the unseen forces that shape human experience.
