La Promenade

Französische Grafik 1896–1897, 1897

The artwork "La Promenade" features a scene viewed from an elevated perspective. The horizon is positioned towards the upper portion of the image, with gentle hills in the distance. The composition includes tall, slender trees that create vertical lines across the scene. The style is characterized by pointillism, with small, distinct dots of color. The color palette is composed of blues and greens, interspersed with yellows and oranges. Closest to us, a group of figures in light-colored attire is strolling among the trees. In the distance, sailboats are visible on the water.
