Painting of a pale stone bench among gnarled tree trunks on orange-red earth, with a round stone basin behind, in loose, swirling brushstrokes.

The Stone Bench in the Garden of Saint-Paul Hospital

A painted stone bench sits on rust-red ground beside two gnarled tree trunks, with a circular stone basin behind it at the upper left. Loose, rhythmic brushstrokes in orange, yellow and green build the grass, earth and bark, giving the garden a restless, sunlit energy.

Español: El banco de piedra en el jardín del Hospital Saint-Paul

Un banco de piedra pálido se apoya sobre un suelo rojizo junto a dos troncos retorcidos, con una fuente circular de piedra al fondo, en la parte superior izquierda. Pinceladas sueltas y rítmicas en naranja, amarillo y verde forman la hierba, la tierra y la corteza, dando al jardín una energía luminosa e inquieta.

Português: O banco de pedra no jardim do Hospital Saint-Paul

Um banco de pedra claro repousa sobre um chão avermelhado ao lado de dois troncos retorcidos, com uma bacia circular de pedra ao fundo, no canto superior esquerdo. Pinceladas soltas e rítmicas em laranja, amarelo e verde constroem a grama, a terra e a casca das árvores, dando ao jardim uma energia luminosa e inquieta.
