Under an orange sky, dark pines cut their silhouettes above a stony landscape. The light of the setting sun unites the ground, the trees, and the horizon in a warm palette. The title written on the reverse explicitly places this evocation in Provence.

The covering strokes alternate with lighter touches. The material and the warmth of the palette enhance the light of the sunset.
