Les Andelys on a Summer Morning

Paul Signac

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with an elevated perspective looking over a body of water towards distant hills. The horizon aligns with a hilltop featuring a castle-like structure. Tall, stylized trees frame the scene in the foreground, with expressive brushstrokes. Buildings with peaked roofs line the water's edge, contrasting with the natural setting. The color palette is primarily sepia and black, creating a textured look. The water reflects the landscape, adding depth to the composition.
