The liveliness of the colours gives an impression of the painting's swarming

hidden in tall grass so rich in life

The perspective culminates here in a remote vanishing point

the Red Tower and the Eiffel Tower among others

The painter emphasizes here a general harmony through the symmetry of the composition of the impressionnist painting by using the format of the canvas with the bluish-green cameo

standing out with its warm hues and sharpness

all as varied in their themes as in the techniques employed

It also marks the beginning of his period of expression

On a postcard with a harbor scene
