The black watercolor print of this subject transports the viewer into a moment of calm and relaxation. Offering a poetic, timeless vision of the town of Saint-Tropez, beneath the winding plains of the surrounding mountains. Bernard Buffet highlights the famous red roofs overlooking the sea, dominated by the ochre bell tower and campanile of Notre Dame de l'Assomption.
