The artwork titled “Little Communicant, Church of Mourning” is an oil-on-panel painting by the artist Maurice Utrillo. Created within the Post-Impressionism art movement, this cityscape measures 52 by 69 centimeters and is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a serene church standing solitary against a muted sky. The building, rendered in soft white tones with subtle hints of age and wear, features a modest clock tower and arched entrance. The surrounding environment includes a simple iron fence and the quiet street leading up to the church, suggesting an atmosphere of calm reverence. Utrillo’s characteristic brushwork and color palette successfully capture the tranquil and contemplative mood of the locale.
