Post-Impressionism

Mount Sainte-Victoire, by Paul Cézanne, c. 1904
Corridor in the Asylum, by Vincent van Gogh, September 1889
Still Life with Apples and a Pot of Primroses, by Paul Cézanne, ca. 1890
Monsieur Boileau at the Café, by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, 1893
Brünnhilde in Twilight of the Gods, by Odilon Redon, 1894
Pastel drawing of two figures in a sailboat, bright multi-colored clouds.
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.

The works in this room are listed below.
