About the piece

Created in 1904, this masterpiece by Henri-Edmond Cross captures a serene afternoon in a Mediterranean garden. Using the Neo-Impressionist pointillist technique, Cross builds a luminous world of dappled light and shadow through distinct dabs of pure color, depicting figures at leisure amidst lush foliage and blossoming flowerbeds.
