FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG
This work is on display in the exhibition Henri Rousseau: A Painter's Secrets in the Barnes Foundation's Roberts Gallery, October 19, 2025 through February 22, 2026 and at the Musée de l'Orangerie, March 24-July 20, 2026. Here Rousseau depicts an outdoor family gathering. The wine barrel, bottle, and small cups suggest some kind of celebration—perhaps a birth, a baptism, or the wine harvest. The scene takes place against the side of a whitewashed building that is partly overgrown with a treelike grapevine. The straightforward, yet mysterious depiction of the scene is a hallmark of Rousseau's style and something that was deeply inspiring to up-and-coming Parisian artists like Pablo Picasso.
