Oil painting of a seated woman in a red chair with clasped hands, dark green bodice, green skirt, and a patterned background of white flowers.

Madame Roulin Rocking the Cradle (La Berceuse)

A woman with hair pulled back sits in a red chair, hands clasped over a green skirt and a cord that trails down. She wears a dark green bodice, gazes downward, and sits against a patterned background of white flowers and swirling green vines. Thick, visible brushstrokes define the oil painting's bold color.

Español: Madame Roulin Meciendo la Cuna (La Berceuse)

Una mujer con el cabello recogido está sentada en una silla roja, con las manos entrelazadas sobre una falda verde y un cordón que cae hacia abajo. Viste un corpiño verde oscuro, mira hacia abajo y se recorta contra un fondo estampado de flores blancas y enredaderas verdes. Las pinceladas gruesas y visibles definen el color intenso de esta pintura al óleo.

Ela veste um corpete verde-escuro, olha para baixo e se destaca contra um fundo estampado com flores brancas e trepadeiras verdes. As pinceladas grossas e visíveis definem as cores intensas desta pintura a óleo.
