The painting refers to the named forest and park in the west of Paris. View over a lake there to the magnificent park with numerous different shrub and tree species, in fresh bright colours, which are reflected in the calm water. The sun illuminates the landscape under a high light blue sky with white clouds and puts the observer in a summery mood. The colours are partly applied with broad short brush strokes in many different shades. The painter concentrated on the suggestive interpretation of the coloring. Note: The French painter is assigned to the circle of the Fauves. He went to Paris in 1896 and studied there in the studio of Gustave Moreau (1826-1898), where he also met Albert Marquet (1875-1947).
