Description of the artwork
Apart from a few minor details, our painting has the same composition as the work acquired by the Musée d'Orsay in 2007: Crépuscule, 1892.
Slightly larger in format, our twilight shows a strip of land between the water and the sky, barely above water, against which the dark silhouettes of the trees stand out against the light.
