Signac's shimmering depiction of Comblat-le-Château and its the surrounding valley in the Auvergne possesses all the hallmarks of a great Divisionist composition. Composed primarily with a bold palette of blue, purple and green, the picture captures the atmosphere of a warm summer day as the trees cast their shadows across a sun-dappled pasture.
