About the piece

Created in 1911, Eugène Jansson's work captures the raw energy and discipline of the athletic form. Through short, rhythmic brushstrokes of blue and warm ochre, the artist depicts a gymnast in a moment of intense physical exertion, set against the soft, diffused light of a gymnasium window in a style characteristic of his late career studies of the male figure.
