About the piece

Painted in 1883, this work by Berthe Morisot exemplifies the Impressionist fascination with light and water. Using a palette of soft blues, crisp whites, and vibrant greens, Morisot captures a fleeting moment on the banks of the Seine at Bougival, where figures linger near the water's edge amidst the charming riverside architecture of late 19th-century France.
