About the piece

Dating from 1860, this oil painting captures the quiet activity of the banks of the Seine. The composition balances the grounded presence of the riverbank path and nearby trees with the open, airy expanse of the water and sky, rendered with the luminous touch characteristic of mid-19th-century French landscape painting.
