The Calanque at Saint Tropez is a 1906 graphite by Paul Signac, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a serene landscape with a body of water in the foreground, surrounded by rocky cliffs and lush greenery. The colors are muted, with shades of blue, green, and yellow dominating the palette. In the background, the sky is a soft blend of blue and gray. A notable detail in the painting is the use of bold, expressive brushstrokes to convey the texture and depth of the rocky cliffs. The artist's use of watercolor and graphite on laid paper adds a sense of subtlety and nuance to the overall composition. This painting is reminiscent of the works of artist Paul Signac.
Paul Victor Jules Signac ( seen-YAHK, French: ; 11 November 1863 – 15 August 1935) was a French Neo-Impressionist painter who, with Georges Seurat, helped develop the artistic technique Pointillism.
