This oil on wood painting by Henri-Edmond Cross depicts a peasant woman reclining on a grassy hill. Executed in the Neo-Impressionist style, the artwork features visible brushstrokes and a harmonious colour palette of greens and blues.
Henri-Edmond Cross, a French painter born in 1856, is known for his contributions to the Neo-Impressionist movement. Cross, along with artists like Seurat and Signac, explored the science of colour and optics, applying small, distinct dots of pure colour to the canvas that would then blend in the viewer's eye, a technique known as pointillism. However, Cross's style evolved, and he began using broader, more expressive brushstrokes, moving away from the strict dot-like application. 'Peasant Woman Stretched out on the Grass' exemplifies Cross's later style. The painting depicts a woman reclining on a grassy hill, her form blending with the natural surroundings. The colour palette is dominated by greens and blues, with touches of white and brown. The brushstrokes are visible and create a sense of movement and light. The composition is simple, with the woman's figure taking centre stage against the backdrop of the rolling hills and sky. The work captures a moment of quiet repose, inviting the viewer to contemplate the relationship between humanity and nature.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.

changing his name twice to escape confusion, moving to the Mediterranean for his health, and painting the coastline in colours so intense they helped start Fauvism
