A Broad Valley at Sunset

Französische Grafik 1896–1897, circa 1897

The artwork depicts a broad valley at sunset, viewed from an elevated perspective. The horizon is positioned high, showcasing a vast expanse of rolling hills that recede into the distance. The painting employs a pointillist technique, with small, distinct dots of color creating a texture. The color palette features yellows, pinks, and purples in the sky, blending into the greens and blues of the landscape below. Closer to us, two prominent, dark blue trees stand out against the lighter colors of the valley.
