The view of The Hills above Nice is provided with a vista through an avenue of trees which leads one’s eye into the composition to the hills beyond. Light here is the principal agent – the brilliant light of the Mediterranean – impacting on the colours washed with watercolour exploiting the subtle qualities evoking the brightness of the day.
