TEMPS GRIS On the right the serrated escarpment of the cliffs stands outbold against the sunlight, diminishing in rapid perspective tothe middle distance, where a fold of the land indicates thepresence of a little valley. Beyond the terrain rises abruptlyinto a bold foreland, curving gently to the left, its harsh out-lines softened by a veil of mist which shrouds its distant form.A narrow strip of sand is washed by the foam of the channelrolling inshore in serried breakers. The sun is rapidly dis-persing the mist and shines upon the nearer rocks, bringingout vividly their play of wondrous colors. The rising vaporhides the blue of the sky behind a transparent veil and thelight is tender and diffused. Signed at the lower right, Claude Monet, 82.
