Saint-Tropez. The Lighthouse and the Jetty','zh-CN by Paul Signac

Before Saint-Tropez became a playground for the jet set, it was a quiet fishing village that Paul Signac practically discovered and put on the map. In this lively sketch, he captures the harbor with loose, energetic strokes of charcoal and watercolor, completely skipping his famous pointillist dots for a rawer, more immediate feel. You can see the lighthouse standing guard on the left while figures work on a boat to the right, all set against a backdrop of rolling hills. It feels like a quick visual diary entry from a breezy afternoon on the French Riviera.
