From an elevated vantage point, the Seine curves through a broad valley, its pale surface receding into a softly defined horizon. On the right, steep, chalky slopes descend towards the river, dotted with vegetation and scattered buildings that mark the town of Les Andelys. The outline of Château Gaillard is faintly discernible on the hill above, reduced to a muted silhouette against the sky. The left bank forms a darker, wooded mass, creating a wide channel of water between the opposing slopes. The composition is structured in sweeping horizontal bands of land and river, unified by closely related tones of blue and green. Oil is applied in thin, lightly worked layers, with broken touches describing foliage in the foreground. Painted in 1911 during the artist’s engagement with the Normandy landscape, Les Andelys reflects a sustained interest in elevated river views and the historic sites along the Seine.
