An evocative figurative composition depicting bathers in a verdant landscape. The scene presents a central standing nude figure surrounded by seated companions in vibrant dress, gathered beneath the canopy of trees. Executed in a bold, expressive manner with rich impasto and saturated colour palette dominated by deep blues, greens, and warm earth tones. The artist's vigorous brushwork and modernist approach to form demonstrate clear engagement with early 20th-century avant-garde movements.
The work captures a timeless scene of leisure and contemplation in nature, rendered with confident handling and atmospheric depth. Signed. On canvas on stretchers.
Condition
The condition is typical for a picture of this age. There are areas of flaking and paint loss scattered across the canvas. The condition is quite delicate. There is some craquelure to the surface.

Collection Information
A Parisian painter by tradition, Joubin brings out the physical reality of beings, going directly to what can express their nature. His work transposes into his own vision the simple reality of everyday life.
Alfred Flavien Georges Joubin (1888-1983) was a French painter. Having been orphaned at a young age, he received his artistic training at the Académie Julian and then at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris. In 1912, he settled in the artists' colony "Les Fusains" in Montmartre, Paris. He participated in the founding of the École de Montmartre, whose manifesto proclaimed: "we believe we can create a work not nourished by abstraction, but plunging into the very roots of life." A street in Digny, his birthplace, now bears his name.
