About the piece

Created around 1890 by Ker-Xavier Roussel, this painting is a masterful example of the Nabi style, characterized by simplified forms and bold, flat planes of color. The composition uses the dark verticality of tree trunks to frame a quiet meeting of figures against a vibrant, sunlit meadow, capturing a fleeting moment of late afternoon repose.
