The Casino in Monte Carlo, Early evening is a clever composition using artificial light. The façade of the casino has the impression that is it emitting light rather than just reflecting the artificial light being trained on it. The figures walking towards the casino and the trees are silhouetted against the light. The sky is a deep blue. A very powerful watercolour.
