The Pont d'Alma at Twilight

Luigi Aloys François Joseph Loir

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a river scene with a bridge in the distance, a barge on the water with colored lights, and a hazy, misty atmosphere. Brushstrokes are loose and impressionistic, creating a dreamlike quality. The color palette is dominated by muted tones of green, yellow, and brown. outlines of vegetation and a path suggest a riverbank, with trees barely discernible against the blurred background.
