About the piece

Painted in 1893, this work by Paul Sérusier is a definitive example of the Synthetist approach championed by Les Nabis. The composition features a group of villagers in the Forest of Huelgoat, their white coiffes and aprons providing sharp accents against a rich, flattened landscape of ochres, deep reds, and muted greens.
