About the piece

Painted in 1891, 'Harvest by the Sea' is a quintessential example of Émile Bernard’s Cloisonnist style, which influenced the works of Paul Gauguin. The composition uses bold, dark outlines to define flat regions of color, depicting laborers in Brittany against a tranquil coastal backdrop. Its harmonious blend of sage greens, dusty roses, and warm ochre tones makes it a versatile and striking piece for contemporary interiors.
