A broad, sunlit mountain dominates the center of the composition, its slopes rendered in shifting tones of blue, violet, ochre, and rose. Below the mountain, a patchwork of green and ochre fields stretches across the middle ground, interspersed with clusters of trees and small, geometric buildings. In the foreground, several houses with red-tiled roofs nestle among dense, rounded masses of foliage, their walls catching the light in soft, creamy yellows and browns.

The brushwork is visible and varied, with short, blocky strokes shaping the mountain and fields, while the trees and foreground are built up with thicker, more textured marks. The sky above is a luminous, nearly cloudless expanse, shifting from pale blue at the horizon to a deeper blue at the top edge, with subtle gradations achieved through broad, blended strokes. Near the center-right, a long, pale viaduct crosses the Arc River Valley, its arches forming a rhythmic line that echoes the curves of the hills and mountain slopes.

The composition is anchored by strong horizontal bands—the dark green of the foreground trees, the lighter fields, and the massive, angular form of Montagne Sainte-Victoire rising above. At the lower left corner, a shadowed patch of earth contrasts with the sunlit fields beside it. The upper left edge of the painting shows a faint, irregular line suggesting the distant horizon beyond the mountain.

A thin, winding path or road cuts through the fields in the middle ground, curving gently from left to right. Near the right edge, a few small, rectangular buildings are scattered among the greenery, their forms simplified and blocky. The foliage in the foreground is painted with deep greens and touches of blue, creating dense, rounded shapes that overlap one another.

Light falls unevenly across the slopes of the mountain, with some areas appearing almost white while others are cast in shadowy blue and purple. The paint is applied in visible, directional strokes that emphasize the contours of the land and the angularity of the architecture. Mont Sainte-Victoire seen from Bellevue was created by Paul Cézanne in 1892, depicting the Montagne Sainte-Victoire in Provence, southern France.
