Landscape

Paul Sérusier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a landscape scene with text titles and an illustration of a figure carrying a basket. The drawing depicts a landscape view with rolling hills and trees in simple, expressive lines. In the foreground, there is a stylized figure of a person in a hooded cloak carrying a rounded basket. The drawing includes handwritten text in French, listing what appears to be titles or captions. The prominent text includes phrases like “1 - La Marchande de Chiffons” and other numbered titles. The style reflects an influence of the late 19th-century art movement, characterized by decorative qualities and simplicity. The drawing is attributed to Paul Sérusier, with his name appearing at the bottom, embracing elements of symbolism and abstraction.
