Procession 1913

"Procession" (1913) by Charles Cottet, a French Post-Impressionist painter, depicts a group of women in traditional white headdresses, likely participating in a religious procession. The scene, set outdoors with a glimpse of a distant figure and landscape, focuses on the solemnity of the event, captured through the women's focused expressions and the muted color palette. Cottet's signature style is evident in the painterly brushstrokes and the use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth. The work reflects Cottet's interest in capturing the daily lives and traditions of the French people, particularly in rural areas.
