About the piece

Created by Neo-Impressionist master Henri-Edmond Cross around 1897, this luminous painting employs a sophisticated pointillist technique to depict a tender domestic scene outdoors. The canvas is alive with dots of pure color that shimmer to capture the Mediterranean light over the figures and the distant shore, where a fisherman works by his boat.
