The Virgin Islands in Bezons (Les Iles vierges a Bezons)
The image shows a low vantage point looking towards a wooded area. Trees obscure the horizon with fine lines creating textures for the foliage and sky. The monochromatic color palette uses shading to give depth. There are ripples and reflections in the water. In the distance, more trees are visible, and the sky has soft lines suggesting clouds.
