About the piece
Painted in 1898 by Jean-Eugène Buland, this masterpiece of Naturalism captures the deep faith of regional France. The work depicts a man and woman in detailed Breton costume as they offer prayers before a rustic Pieta statue, rendered with a luminous yet somber palette that highlights the artist's technical precision.
