ArtistNaive Sunset. Full-width close-up (3:4) of an oil painting depicting The Church of Notre-Dame of Dijon at sunset, in a style that combines elements of the art of Henri Rousseau, André Bauchant, and Grandma Moses. The painting is so close that it extends beyond the edges of the image, both at the top and bottom.

In the foreground, a group of people, dressed in old-fashioned attire, walk through the undergrowth. Among them are adults and children, depicted with simplified, illustrative figures. A spotted leopard walks alongside the group. Further to the right, a covered wagon, drawn by a horse, is partially obscured by the foliage.
