About the piece
Painted around 1740, this oil on canvas by François Boucher depicts a charming rural scene with a winding river and rustic architecture. Figures in a small boat and a solitary fisherman add a sense of gentle activity to the lush, atmospheric environment, rendered in the artist's signature Rococo style.
