About the piece

Painted around 1890, this work by Gustave Caillebotte captures 'Le petit bras de la Seine' with a rich, textured palette and masterful light. The composition draws the eye down the reflective water, framed by the vibrant, shifting colors of trees transitioning into autumn, exemplifying the elegance of late 19th-century French Impressionism.
