The composition is structured by a play of rocky masses framing the river, creating a striking sense of depth. The brushstrokes are thick and expressive, applied with a palette knife in places, lending relief and movement to the texture. The palette, dominated by mineral, green, and blue tones, sensitively captures the light and ruggedness of the Provençal landscape.

The work belongs to the tradition of 20th-century French landscape painting, with a post-Impressionist approach that prioritizes texture, the vibrancy of color, and a sensitive interpretation of the subject rather than a strictly realistic rendering.
