1904, Paul Cezanne, Seated Peasant -- National Gallery of Art (Washington) (special exhibition)
From the exhibition label: The pyramidal shape of this monumental figure, whose symmetry is reinforced by the walking stick standing parallel to the central axis of the sitter, recalls the similarly posed woman with a coffee press nearby. The strangely disproportionate body and gigantic hands of this aging man have no precedent in Cézanne’s work, and nothing like them would appear again.
