About the piece

Painted around 1880 by Emile Antoine Guillier, this work captures a 'bateau-lavoir' or wash-house boat on the Seine near Paris. The artist uses bold, expressive brushstrokes and a rich palette of deep earth tones contrasted against a luminous sky to evoke the industrial yet romantic character of the 19th-century riverfront.
