About the piece

Painted in 1883, this early work by Paul Signac captures the transition between rural and industrial landscapes in Gennevilliers. The composition uses soft, dappled light and a muted palette of greens, ochres, and blues to render the trees and the hazy smoke of distant chimneys, reflecting the Impressionist interest in modern light and atmosphere.
