The artwork, titled “Lapeyrouse Wall,” was created by the artist Peter Doig in 2004. It is an example of Magic Realism and falls under the genre of genre painting.
In the artwork, a lone figure is depicted standing against a weathered wall on a sunny day. The individual is shown from the back, wearing a white shirt and a hat, and holding a patterned umbrella against a backdrop of clear blue sky. The wall, adorned with patches of peeling paint, runs horizontally across the canvas, creating a boundary between the figure and the distant landscape. A fire hydrant rests on the ground in the foreground, casting a long shadow along the yellow pathway. The scene presents a mixture of realistic detail and dream-like quality, characteristic of Magic Realism, evoking a sense of contemplation and solitude.
