In this artwork, how is the abstract discussed?
The Eternal Feminine is an 1877 oil-on-canvas painting by the French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Cézanne. The ambiguous work shows men gathered around a single female figure. A range of professions are represented: writers, lawyers, and a painter (possibly Eugène Delacroix or Cézanne himself). 
The painting may have been inspired by both Christian and Pagan art representing deified women.The painting has been compared to works done by Eugène Delacroix, Gustave Courbet, and other 19th-century artists. It also was a turning point in Cézanne's techniques.
