Französische Grafik 1887–1891, circa 1890

The image depicts a landscape at sunset. The view is from a low vantage, showing a flat expanse stretching towards the horizon. The horizon line divides the sky from the land and reflects water below. Silhouettes on the horizon could be trees or man-made structures, highlighted by the setting sun's glow. Loose, impressionistic brushstrokes capture the light and atmosphere. The color palette is warm, with earth tones of brown, ochre, and amber blending together, contrasted by hints of blue and violet. Earthy tones in the foreground suggest marsh or wetland, while the background shows a gradient of colors blending into the sky.
