About the piece

Painted in 1871 by Henri de Braekeleer, this scene depicts the sun-drenched estate of Gustave Coûteaux. The work showcases the artist's meticulous attention to architectural detail, seen in the rhythmic striped brickwork of the house, contrasted with the soft textures of the lush garden and figures at work and leisure.
