Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe

What you see

In a forest clearing, three people sit on the grass. On the left, a nude woman rests her chin on her hand and looks out at us. Beside her, two men in dark suits are talking; the one on the right, in a tasseled cap, gestures with an open hand. Farther back, a woman in a light shift bends over a stream, closing a triangle that leads the eye into the distance.

The dark greens of the woods are loosely painted, and the foreground figures are lit flatly. At lower left lies a still life: a blue dress, a straw hat, an overturned basket of fruit and a round loaf. Seek out the small bird flying near the top center.
