LE DERNIER QUARTIER
Height, 25½ inches; width, 21 inches
Beyond a grassy field, which extends across the foreground, are seen a number of cottages, with lofty tiled roofs, on either side of a large clump of trees, and in the sky the crescent of the moon is just appearing from behind a small cloud which floats near the horizon. In the upper part of the sky an irregular mass of vapor is accentuated by the glow of moonlight, and in the windows of a low cottage overhung by trees is the warm gleam of lamplight, suggesting the rapid approach of darkness.
Signed at the lower right, J. C. Cazin.
