is a 1910 painting by Henri Rousseau, who died on September 2 in that same year. From Wikipedia:
Ridiculed during his lifetime by critics, he came to be recognized as a self-taught genius whose works are of high artistic quality. Rousseau's work exerted an extensive influence on several generations of avant-garde artists
Let this be an encouragement in your own artistic endeavors.

  8. Rousseau was a wonderful artist. I love his way of making the viewer see new things. I’ve seen quite a few of his works, but I don’t remember this one.

  10. Love the colors on the painting and, of course, the subject. Definitely should be an encouragement to us all that he persisted and was considered a master after the negativity he endured. Happy t-day and hugz
