About the piece
Painted around 1900 by René Lelong, this oil on canvas work captures a dynamic moment as an 'omnibus of sultanas' moves through a misty landscape. The nearly monochromatic palette emphasizes the interplay of light and shadow, creating a sense of mystery and movement amidst the swaying palms.
