About the piece

This 1906 oil painting by Paul Sérusier, titled 'Under the Lamp', showcases the artist's signature Nabis style with its vibrant, expressive colors and textured brushwork. The scene captures an intimate interior, where the golden glow of an oil lamp illuminates an open book and desk accessories against a moody, patterned background.
