Calanque des Antibois

Paysages impressionnistes, 1891/1892

The painting depicts a coastal scene. A rocky shore in warm tones of orange, brown, red, and purple is closest to us, with two boats and a simple structure visible near the center of the painting. There is another boat closer to us, by the water near the bottom edge of the painting. The horizon line is almost at the top of the painting, with a range of mountains faintly visible against a strip of pale-purple sky, past the large body of water. The water is a light blue color, stretching from the rocky shore on the right to the distant mountains. The paint has been applied with small dot-like brushstrokes of reds, oranges, blues, and purples.
