In the foreground, the stream passes around stone blocks before continuing into the scene. Dark blue trunks form tall vertical lines beneath green and yellow foliage. Peach-coloured cliffs and a few elevated buildings appear beyond the trees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeep blue shadows, green leaves and pale water create clear contrasts. Flat areas of colour simplify the landscape so it can be read from a distance. The eye follows bright openings between the trees and rises towards the rocks, giving the composition both depth and graphic strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA 1912 poster by Constant-Duval\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lower left bears ‘Mortain (bocage normand)’ and ‘Constant-Duval 1912’.
