The View from Eze

About this work

This watercolor shows a steep, rocky hillside covered in dark trees. A winding path cuts through the greenery, leading up to a small white building perched near the top. The sky is pale, almost blending with the distant hills, while the foreground rocks are sharply drawn in loose, sketchy lines. The artist used quick, uneven strokes to suggest texture—rough for the rocks, softer for the foliage. This sketchy style makes the scene feel quick and fresh, like a snapshot of a moment.
