Les Champs-Elysées

Französische Grafik 1898–1899, 1898

This artwork, titled "Les Champs-Elysées," is composed using the pointillism technique, characterized by small, distinct dots of color. The scene is viewed from a slightly elevated perspective. Closest to us, there is a figure reclining on the ground, depicted in blue and peach tones. Beyond, several figures are gathered, with a horse in orange among them. Trees with blue and green foliage frame the scene. The horizon is not distinctly visible, as the composition focuses on the gathering of people and animals. The color palette consists of blues, yellows, and oranges.
