About the piece
Painted in 1893 by Jan Verkade, this work titled 'Memory' reflects the artist's involvement with Les Nabis. The portrait is characterized by simplified forms and flat areas of color, depicting a woman in a Breton coif against an atmospheric landscape. The piece balances the intimacy of a portrait with the abstract qualities of the Post-Impressionist era.
