Valley of the Seine
1909

A painting depicting a panoramic view of a valley with a river meandering through it. In the foreground, there's an aqueduct with multiple arches, and beyond it, a train travels along a track that cuts through the landscape. Small clusters of red-roofed houses are scattered throughout the valley, and a lone boat can be seen on the river. The scene is enveloped in the soft light of either early morning or late afternoon, casting gentle shadows and giving the landscape a serene atmosphere.
