This c. 1950 lithograph reproduces his landmark 1908 painting of the viaduct at l'estaque — the mediterranean fishing village near marseille where, inspired by cézanne, braque first reduced landscape into the faceted geometric planes that gave cubism its name.

the composition frames a hillside village and towering viaduct arches between overhanging trees, in a palette of blues, yellows, and greens — cool yet sunny, with blue tree-shadows and warm yellow earth.
