Sun in Its Jewel Case
Painting - Oil on Canvas (115.4 x 88.1 cm) 1937

In this smooth and frozen landscape illuminated by an unknown, unreal light coming from the right-back as in the painting “In an Indeterminate Place”, time seems to have stopped.

This painting's title, “The Sun in Its Jewel Case” (Le Soleil dans son écrin), doesn't leave up to our expectation.

It is difficult to perceive it in this cold-coloured landscape where the ground merges with the sky under dim light.
