About the piece

Painted in 1888 by Alexis Jean Fournier, this work offers a historical glimpse of the Mill Pond at Minneapolis. The composition masterfully balances the natural river flow with the human-made elements of the Stone Arch Bridge and the local milling industry, all rendered in a harmonious, atmospheric palette characteristic of the period's American landscape tradition.
