The Plain between Cannes and Mougins (La plaine entre Cannes et Mougins)

1934

The image features an elevated view over a landscape. The horizon is high in the composition and marked by hills or mountains. The style involves cross-hatching and linear etching techniques, creating a textured appearance. The color palette is monochromatic with black and white tones. The terrain close by is filled with shrub-like forms and structures rendered in detailed lines. In the distance, the landscape rises towards the mountains defining the horizon, with blurred forms due to shading and line variation.
