A large and expressive oil on canvas by Canadian artist Claude Simard, titled Green Series #4 and dated 1986. The composition features a group of stylized, mask-like figures rendered in Simard’s signature bold and vibrant palette. The figures are arranged in a tight grouping, with simplified facial features and elongated forms, set against a richly textured background of rhythmic red dot patterns. The interplay of color, pattern, and form creates a dynamic visual narrative, blending elements of modernism with folk-inspired aesthetics.

Signed and dated verso, the painting retains a gallery label from Galerie Samuel Lallouz, Montreal, further supporting its exhibition history and provenance. The scale and striking composition make it a strong statement piece for collectors of contemporary Canadian art.
