Lebasque added Divisionism to a Nabis effect and was an avant-garde painter who used a Pointillist style under the influence of the Post Impressionist Paul Signac. He was also deeply impressed by Pissarro. This work from his later period was deftly created from a bright palette and a tension-filled composition. (Source: The Digital Gallery. 1999-2006)
