About the piece

In 'Woman Sitting in a Field: Brittany', Émile Bernard employs the flattened perspectives and bold outlines characteristic of the Cloisonnist style. Painted in 1890, this work portrays a lone figure in traditional dress against a rhythmic backdrop of hills and stylized trees, epitomizing the artist's innovative approach to color and form during his time in the Pont-Aven school alongside Van Gogh and Gauguin.
