The Evening Air

The Evening Air is oil painted onto a canvas by Henri-Edmond Cross in 1893.

• Cross uses the angle of the sails, the tree vine, and the lady's hair to imply motion, probably from wind.
• Optical color mixing blends colors together while providing intense contrast at the same time.
• The large size and lower position of the three ladies, trees, and bushes compared to the smaller and higher people, trees, and bushes creates a sense of depth.
