About the piece

Created in 1919, this work by Louis Marcoussis is a masterful example of synthetic Cubism. The composition utilizes a grounded palette of terracotta, muted blues, and ochres, organized into a rhythmic structure of overlapping planes and sinuous lines that suggest an abstracted interior or still life.
