"Carnival at Nice" is a watercolor painting by Paul Signac, a leading figure in the Neo-Impressionist movement. Though the exact date of creation is unknown, Signac's vibrant use of color and distinct brushstrokes are characteristic of his later works. The scene depicts a lively street festival in Nice, France, with figures in colorful costumes and a parade moving through the city. The buildings and foliage are rendered with bold, flat colors, creating a dynamic and almost abstract composition. Signac's approach to depicting light and color through small, distinct brushstrokes, known as pointillism, contributes to the painting's energetic and celebratory atmosphere.
