About the piece
Created in 1888 by Gustaaf Vanaise, this painting titled 'Happiness' (Geluk) exemplifies the late 19th-century European interest in pastoral and domestic themes. The composition centers on a mother figure in a deep red dress, her warmth mirrored by the golden-hour light of the open countryside. With one child on her lap and another reclining on a soft sheepskin, the work celebrates a timeless moment of innocence and connection.
