About the piece
Painted in 1906, this evocative oil study by Henri Harpignies captures a quiet moment in a forest. A simple bench rests beneath a heavy canopy of trees, where the deep, earthy greens of the foliage contrast beautifully with the bright strikes of golden sunlight hitting the forest floor and tree trunks.
