Auvers-sur-oise 1914

"Auvers-sur-Oise," created in 1914 by Charles Sprague Pearce, depicts a young man and woman seated in a grassy field. The woman, wearing a white cap and a brown shawl, holds a shepherd's staff, suggesting a rural setting. The somber mood of the painting, accentuated by the muted colors, reflects the realism of the period. This artwork, completed just months before the artist's death, exemplifies Pearce's mastery of capturing the essence of everyday life and the quiet beauty of the French countryside.
