Post-Impressionism

Orpheus, by Odilon Redon, c. 1903–10
The Large Plane Trees (Road Menders at Saint-Rémy), by Vincent van Gogh, 1889
Study for "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte", by Georges Seurat, 1884
The image shows two women walking arm in arm, both in traditional attire. One woman is facing away with a slight profile, while the other is seen from the side. Their faces are stylized and simplistic with covered hair. They wear long dresses with aprons and collars, and one has a striped apron. Haystacks and greenery surround them. Faint figures are in the background, as well as a spire-like structure. A dog is seen near the haystack, with simple lines suggesting a landscape.
Heavy daubs of pigment form a crowded scene of roughly defined, finely dressed individuals in a brightly color park along a riverbank.
Symbolic Head, by Odilon Redon, c. 1890
Brünnhilde in Twilight of the Gods, by Odilon Redon, 1894
