This impressive watercolor on paper was created in the second half of the 20th century, as indicated by the artist's signature, dated September 9, 1962, under the name “Gilis”.

It is a depiction of the renowned Pont Marie in Paris, on the banks of the Seine, in a Post-Impressionist style cityscape. It maintains a detailed representation of the city, but focuses on light and color. This characteristic is readily apparent in the foreground of the river, in how the golden sunlight falls on the waters of the Seine and the rooftops behind it. The use of complementary colors allowed for a different perception of color, capturing a fleeting, specific moment in the city.

This wonderful work presents itself as a tranquil and pleasant scene in which the artist focuses on capturing the beauty of the urban landscape, without any apparent message or social commentary, an aspect that links it to Post-Impressionism. The colors are visible patches (common among Impressionists), which reinforces the sense of movement and the artist's interest in the changing effect of light.
