About the piece

Painted around 1851, 'Le Chaland' (The Barge) showcases Félix Ziem’s celebrated ability to capture the interplay of light and water. This oil study utilizes thick, expressive impasto to render the movement of the clouds and the reflective surface of the water, while a small flag provides a vibrant focal point to the atmospheric scene.
