About the piece
Painted around 1870 by Ferdinand Heilbuth, this oil on panel work captures a quiet moment of leisure on the Seine. The composition masterfully balances the detailed finery of the two women with the shimmering, atmospheric reflections of the river and the gentle presence of a swan in the foreground.
