About the piece
Dating from 1911, this mixed-media work by Léon Spilliaert captures 'The Pulpit' house in Ostend. The composition is masterfully rendered using chalk, pastel, and gouache on cardboard, showcasing Spilliaert's signature moody style and focused use of color, notably in the vibrant blue clothing of the seated figure and the striking green shutters.
