About the piece
This 1881 painting by Daniel Ridgway Knight captures a peaceful moment as peasant women take a rest on the banks of the Seine. Knight was celebrated for his idealized and technically proficient portrayals of French rural life, masterfully balancing the human figures in the foreground with an expansive, luminous sky and the quiet reflection of the river.
