Banks of the Seine at Médan

Paul Cézanne, 1880–1885

The image features a cluster of trees with wispy foliage rising into the sky. The horizon is close to the bottom edge, with the tree tops silhouetted against it. The watercolor piece uses fluid brushstrokes and overlapping washes of color. The color palette includes light blues, greens, and earthy tones, creating a tranquil atmosphere. The sky is a pale blend of blue and cream, adding to the dreamy feel of the image.
