ain was very fond. This is one of his earliest paintings of the subject, which only began to appear in the artistÆs works in 1908. The canvas offers a synthesis of the principal characteristics of DerainÆs style, from the simplification of the figures
to the interest in na∩ve art and the rediscovery of the masters of the early Renaissance.
