Seated Peasant c. 1892 - 1896

"Seated Peasant" (c. 1892-1896) by Paul Cézanne is a striking portrait of a working-class man, rendered in the artist's characteristic Post-Impressionist style. Cézanne's bold brushstrokes and simplified forms create a sense of volume and solidity, emphasizing the figure's presence within the composition. The portrait's muted palette of browns and blues further reinforces the sense of realism and the subject's grounded nature. This work exemplifies Cézanne's exploration of structure and form, contributing to his legacy as a pioneer of modern art.
