About the piece

Painted in 1872 by Charles-François Daubigny, a leading figure of the French Barbizon school, this work captures a serene moment at twilight. Slender alder trees are mirrored in the still waters of a marsh, set against a softly glowing, overcast sky that showcases the artist's masterful treatment of light and natural atmosphere.
