The painting 'Farewell' (also known as 'The Fond Farewell' or 'Adieu'). The painting is a poignant depiction of a woman and son waving goodbye to a ship an man, presumasbly the husband and father. The imagev evokes a strong emotional narrative of parting. The depiction look to be from the early medieval era. We know nothing anout the scene he is depicting here. We do know that it was his detailed painting, done in 1922, the year that he died. It was also his last painting. We suspect his strenth was ebbing. We suspect that it was his way of saying good bye to his many admirers.
