About this work

This painting shows the Eiffel Tower in Paris, but it's not a realistic picture. The tower is painted in yellow and orange, with red and blue lines around it. The background is mostly green and blue, with some pink and yellow shapes. The painting is done in a style that's a bit like Cubism, but it's not as broken up into pieces. The lines and shapes are more flowing and curved. If you like this painting, you might want to check out more works by the artist, Robert Delaunay.
