The Orchard
1928

Impressionist-style painting depicting a rural landscape with a cluster of houses in the foreground. The houses have red-tiled roofs and white walls, some with visible patches of wear. In the foreground, there are a few trees with bare branches, suggesting it might be late autumn or winter. The background features rolling hills with patches of greenery and trees, under a dynamic, cloudy sky with shades of gray and white. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, adding to the painting's rustic charm. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom right corner.
