Sunset over a Pond

Französische Grafik 1879–1887, ca. 1880

The artwork presents a view of a sunset over a pond, with the horizon placed low in the composition. The sky dominates the scene, filled with swirling clouds that capture a range of colors from deep blues and grays to warm yellows and oranges. The water below reflects the sky's colors, creating a blend of hues. The brushstrokes are loose and fluid, contributing to a sense of movement. The overall color palette is rich and warm, with an emphasis on the interplay of light and shadow.
