The Apse of Notre Dame (L'Abside de Notre-Dame) 1924

"The Apse of Notre Dame (L'Abside de Notre-Dame)" is a 1924 etching by French artist André Dunoyer de Segonzac. The work depicts a view of the Seine River in Paris, with the iconic Notre Dame Cathedral in the distance. The composition is dominated by a series of bare trees in the foreground, creating a sense of depth and perspective. The etching captures the urban landscape of Paris in a subtle and delicate style, characteristic of Segonzac's later work. The artist's use of line and shading creates a sense of atmosphere and movement, while the overall effect is one of quiet contemplation.
