About the piece

Painted in 1871 by Johan Jongkind, this work captures the tranquil atmosphere of an inner canal in Dordrecht. The composition beautifully balances the solid, weathered textures of wooden architecture with the ephemeral quality of reflections in the water and a vast, light-filled sky. Jongkind's loose, evocative style was a significant influence on the development of the Impressionist movement.
