"L'Éclaireur"; A white flowering tree against a midnight-blue background. It is an almond tree in bloom, illuminating the night with moonlight. The background is precisely black with bluish highlights. Mother-of-pearl pigments have been included in the white paint. Rather spring-like and country-like, this painting is not lacking in character through its contrast and softness. The canvas is linen, the chamfers are deliberately left white, nails visible. Spring, white tree, black night, almond tree in bloom, chiaroscuro, realistic painting, contrast, white light.
