About the piece

Created around 1890, this work by Armand Guillaumin captures the energetic atmosphere of a river scene where leisure and industry meet. Thick, expressive brushstrokes define the figures of fishermen in the foreground and the soft, rolling smoke of factories on the horizon, embodying the light-filled spirit of French Impressionism.
