About the artwork
Artist supplied description.

This page from a sketchbook relates closely to Redon’s lithograph The Player, plate 5 in his 1879 album The Dream. In his novel Against the Grain (A Rebours) of 1884, Joris-Karl Huysmans described a contemporary charcoal drawing that could have been inspired by this work: “An enormous die where a sad eyelid blinked.”
