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.
