About the piece

Painted around 1824, this oil on canvas by Richard Parkes Bonington depicts a tranquil scene along a river in Normandy. The composition is anchored by a small boat and a figure in a striking red jacket, set against a vast, luminous sky and the soft, rolling terrain of the French countryside.
