Saint Tropez

Französische Grafik 1893–1895, 1894

The artwork shows a coastal scene with a view from the shoreline. Closest to us, there are two boats on a grassy area beside a tree with swirling, textured foliage. The brushstrokes are distinct and stylized, creating a pattern throughout the piece. In the distance, a body of water reflects the tones of the sky, and a sailboat is visible against the horizon, which is set high in the composition. A building with a dome rises on the horizon. The color palette consists of muted earth tones, soft blues, and warm yellows.
