About the piece
Created in 1886, this seminal work by Henri Rousseau exemplifies his 'naïve' style, characterized by flattened perspective and meticulous detail. Two figures in carnival dress, including a striking white Pierrot, are seen wandering through an intricate web of bare trees under a luminous full moon, creating a hauntingly poetic atmosphere.
