About the piece
Painted around 1870, this work by Adolphe Monticelli showcases his signature impasto technique, where thick layers of oil paint create a luminous, jewel-like surface. Three women in elegant gowns are grouped in a forest setting, their forms emerging from the dark, expressive brushwork of the trees.
