Cros de Cagnes is a 1924 oil by Félix Vallotton, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
The painting depicts a serene landscape with a body of water, possibly a lake or sea, in the background. In the foreground, three boats are beached on a sandy shore, each with a distinct color scheme: one is green, another is red, and the third is yellow. The boats are positioned in a way that creates a sense of depth and perspective. In the distance, a mountain range stretches across the horizon, adding to the tranquil atmosphere of the scene. The overall mood of the painting is one of calmness and serenity, inviting the viewer to step into the peaceful world depicted.
