Seated Peasant

Seated Peasant, a Post-impressionism painting by Paul Cézanne, is executed in oil on canvas. The work portrays a portrait of a seated peasant, likely a worker from Cézanne's family estate at Jas de Bouffan in Aix-en-Provence. Dating from approximately 1892 to 1896, the painting captures a contemplative figure with Cézanne’s signature geometric forms and color modulation. Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Seated Peasant exemplifies Cézanne's innovative approach to traditional painting and remains a significant work within the evolution of modern art.
