Coron, Women having a Chat is a 1878 oil by Constantin Meunier, held at Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
The painting shows a quiet street scene with two women standing outside a house, engaged in conversation. One woman is holding a child's hand, while the other is leaning against the wall of the house. The houses in the background have red roofs and white walls, with a few windows visible. The sky above is a soft yellow. A notable detail in the painting is the way the artist has captured the textures of the buildings and the clothing of the women. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a sense of roughness and realism. For more information on the artist's use of texture and realism, you can explore the work of Constantin Meunier.
Constantin Meunier (French pronunciation: ; 12 April 1831 – 4 April 1905) was a Belgian painter and sculptor.
