The Little Cloud

Description

Roussel made a larger version of this subject with slightly different colors in the same experimental medium, and he depicted the three bathing huts and cloud formation a third time that year in A Morning by the Sea. This is the only known impression of the small version of the “Roussel Medium” print.
