About the piece

Painted in 1912 by French artist Roger de La Fresnaye, this work exemplifies the intersection of traditional subjects and early modernism. The artist uses cubist-influenced planes to construct the figures and the surrounding landscape, creating a dynamic sense of depth and volume through sophisticated blocks of color and sharp, rhythmic edges.
