Erinnerung an die Bretagne
1893-1895
Paul Sérusier captures a quiet, contemplative moment of a Breton woman here, her head bowed under a traditional dark headdress that frames her profile. As a key member of the Nabis group, he spent time in Pont-Aven, Brittany, where artists flocked to paint rural life and folklore away from the city. This sketch feels like a fleeting memory—hence the title 'Souvenir'—rendered with loose, expressive strokes that suggest the texture of her heavy dress without over-defining it. It’s a gentle glimpse into the rural French life that fascinated the Post-Impressionists.
