Pan IV (Arcadia) 1900

Hippolyte Petitjean's "Pan IV (Arcadia)" from 1900 depicts a pastoral scene with three figures in a landscape. The central figure, Pan, plays a flute while sitting next to a woman draped in yellow, both nude, and a seated woman clothed in red. The composition highlights the figures, who are set against a vibrant background of grassy hills and a tree. The work captures the essence of Arcadia, a mythical land of peace and harmony, often portrayed in art as a paradise.
