Lush vegetation in the foreground, including agave and exotic coastal plants, frames the scene, enhancing the sense of sun-drenched beauty and refined escape that Monaco represented in the interwar years. Clérissi’s style combines painterly richness with a carefully constructed sense of atmosphere.
