Collioure is a 1915 watercolor by Derwent Lees, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a rocky shoreline with steep cliffs dropping into deep blue water. The land is a mix of green bushes and bare rock, with a winding path cutting through the scene. In the distance, a small boat sits near a quiet bay, and hills rise softly under a pale sky. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the water and cliffs a slightly rough texture. The artist used light colors to show the play of sunlight on the rocks and waves. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
