“Except for a few journeys in the Far East, I never left the island. Why should I? Sir, I am an impressionist. There are three things in life that I love. Beauty, sunlight and silence. Now could you tell me where to find these in a more perfect state than in Bali?”

I do like this painting. The color palette isn’t something that I would generally go to myself, but I do like seeing it. Thank you so much!

The Wikiwand biography you linked to is interesting. The Belgian painter arrived in Bali when he was about 52. “Le Mayeur rented a house in banjar Kelandis, Denpasar, where he got acquainted with 15-year-old legong dancer, Ni Nyoman Pollok, known by her nickname Ni Pollok , who later on became Le Mayeur’s model for his paintings… After three years working together, in 1935, Le Mayeur and Pollok got married. Le Mayeur kept on painting with his wife as his model during their married life.”
