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. The standing figures here are the artist and his wife on their wedding day, and the little heads floating above are meant as a loving homage to their deceased spouses. Henri Rousseau painted many portraits and often posed his subjects outdoors, surrounded by plants and flowers both real and imagined. Another of his "portrait-landscapes," a term he coined for this genre, hangs across the room.
