His work often features simplified forms and a distinctive colour palette, reflecting the influence of Cubism and Expressionism. De Smet's paintings frequently depict scenes of rural life and portraits, characterised by a sense of melancholy and introspection. He was part of the second Latem School group of artists, who moved away from impressionism toward expressionism and abstraction. 'Le Jardinier' presents a gardener holding a watering can, accompanied by a dog. The scene is set against a backdrop of simplified houses and trees under a dark blue sky. The artist uses a limited range of colours, with red, green, yellow, and brown dominating the composition. The figures are rendered with bold outlines and simplified shapes, characteristic of de Smet's style. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation and a connection to the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/flowers-still-life-louis-valtat\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFlowers Still Life - Louis Valtat — Louis Valtat\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gustave de Smet","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57736969126223,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57736970731855,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57736970764623,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Le-Jardinier_Poster_CompositorV1_1779236885146.jpg?v=1779237628","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/le-jardinier-gustave-de-smet","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
