The Island of Raguenez, Brittany

Französische Malerei 1890–1899, 1890/1895

The painting shows a coastal landscape from an elevated point of view. A structure resembling a thatched-roof cottage is on the right, partially obscured by the rolling green hills that take up the bottom right area of the painting. On the hills there is a thin dirt path and a line of gray stones leading to the cottage. The land slopes down to the water on the left, where the grassy hills become a reddish-brown color that transitions into light yellow sand. The water is light green by the coast, with darker blue water in the background. The sky is light blue with white clouds. The brushstrokes are visible and textured.
