The Chariot of Père Junier is an oil-on-canvas painting created in 1908 by the French painter Henri Rousseau. It is housed at the Musée de l'Orangerie in Paris. [1]
Description[edit]
The man proudly holding the reins is Claude Junier with his family, his wife Anna, his niece, her daughter, and their pets (three dogs and a horse named Rose). The other man in the straw hat is Rousseau himself.
The group of characters is perfectly still and silent as if in a photographic pose. All around them, in perspective, stands the vast landscape of an alley, unusually large and strangely deserted.
