Couchers de Soleil et Cavaliers 4 by Pénélope Barbier is a contemporary painting conceived in 2025 as part of an ongoing series exploring movement, transition, and the poetic tension between landscape and figure. The title—translated as Sunsets and Riders—evokes passage, rhythm, and the quiet drama of departure and return. Rather than depicting a literal scene, the work suggests narrative through atmosphere, gesture, and balance.

Executed in oil and natural pigments on canvas, Couchers de Soleil et Cavaliers 4 by Pénélope Barbier is characterized by layered surfaces and organic tonal variation.
