Claude Le Sauteur, Le Jour de Dépose presents a serene, gently rolling landscape built from broad, confident planes of colour. Lush green hills sweep across the foreground and middle distance in layered tones of emerald, chartreuse, and deep forest green, their simplified forms creating a sense of quiet rhythm and steady movement across the land.

A pale dirt road enters from the lower right and winds softly upward into the scene, acting as a subtle visual guide that draws the eye toward the distant horizon. Beyond the hills, a calm band of blue water stretches across the composition, separating land and sky with quiet clarity.

The sky is built from soft, luminous greys, pale blues, and hints of lavender, suggesting slow-moving cloud cover and gentle, settled weather. Le Sauteur’s brushwork remains expressive yet restrained, favouring harmony, atmosphere, and structure over fine detail. The overall mood is one of openness, calm, and quiet rural light—an inviting, contemplative view of countryside space and distance.
