The artwork, titled “Farm at La Petite Mare,” was created by Francis Picabia in 1907. This oil on canvas painting, measuring 73.4 by 92 centimeters, belongs to the Impressionist movement and showcases a landscape genre. The painting is part of a private collection.
In this painting, Picabia captures the rustic charm of a rural farm scene. In the foreground, a giant, leafy tree dominates the left side, its verdant foliage sprawling across much of the canvas. In the middle ground sits the farmhouse, bathed in sunlight with its textured, warm yellow walls reflecting the brightness of the day. The lower part of the farmhouse features a small red-roofed extension, possibly a storage or animal shelter. Surrounding the farm are lush green fields extending into the horizon, dotted with additional trees. A clear, blue sky stretches above, suggesting a peaceful and serene atmosphere. The brushstrokes are characteristic of the Impressionist style, with visible texture and vibrant colors that bring the landscape to life.
