About the piece

Created in 1916 by Theo van Doesburg, a founder of the De Stijl movement, this work represents a pivotal moment in the transition toward pure abstraction. The composition translates a traditional genre scene into a complex arrangement of triangles, rectangles, and circles, utilizing a vibrant palette that commands attention in any modern space.
