un tableau qui capte la tranquille effervescence d'un après-midi au bord de l'eau

Edward Hopper captures the essence of Vincent van Gogh's ‘Almond blossom’ through his unique style

dressed in a dark jacket over a white shirt

At this time

creating a visually rich and harmonious composition

while celebrating passion through stylised forms and a refined design

The colour palette is dominated by cold tones

a sleeping person is not responsible for his desires

surrounded by a sinuous plant motif adorning the walls and the tablecloth

this painting is an artistic celebration of the movement and energy of modern sports

the landscape melts into a sea of watercolours
