The artwork, titled “Farm on L’Ile d’Ouessant (Finistere),” was created by Maurice Utrillo using oil on panel. It belongs to the Post-Impressionism movement and falls under the genre of cityscape. The dimensions of the artwork are 43.1 x 58.3 cm, and it is presently held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a rustic farm scene on the island of Ouessant, located in the Finistère department of Brittany, France. The setting conveys a serene and somewhat solitary atmosphere, featuring a whitewashed farmhouse with blue shutters and a modest door. The roof appears to be made of slate, typical of rural French architecture. In the foreground, there is a stone wall enclosing a small garden. A solitary figure, likely a farm resident, stands near the entrance, adding a sense of scale and humanity to the composition. The muted color palette and application of paint reflect Utrillo’s characteristic style, capturing the quiet and enduring essence of rural life.
