“La Butte Pinson” is an artwork by Maurice Utrillo, executed in oil on canvas. This piece belongs to the Post-Impressionism movement and is a cityscape measuring 38.5 x 46.5 cm. The artwork is housed in the E.G. Bührle Foundation in Zürich, Switzerland.
The artwork depicts a serene cityscape featuring a path that leads the viewer’s gaze towards quaint buildings surrounded by leafy trees. The dense foliage shades the path and the structures, creating a play of light and shadow. The color palette consists of earthy tones with hints of vibrant color on the rooftops, which stand out against the darker hues of the trees. The brushwork is expressive, capturing the essence of the city environment with a dynamic yet somewhat subdued atmosphere, typical of Utrillo’s depiction of urban scenes. The composition is balanced, drawing the viewer into the tranquil and picturesque setting of what seems to be a calm day in the city.
