Henri Rousseau, often known as 'Le Douanier' due to his former career as a customs officer, was a self-taught artist whose work was celebrated by the avant-garde for its childlike purity and imaginative power. Unlike his more famous jungle scenes, this work highlights his ability to imbue quiet, rural life with an almost surreal sense of stillness and magical geometry.
