About the piece

Painted in 1876 by Charles-François Daubigny, a leading figure of the Barbizon school, this work captures the quiet mystery of a forest stream. The deep, tonal palette and vigorous brushwork create a sense of immersive atmosphere, characteristic of Daubigny's late-career interest in the fleeting qualities of light and the raw texture of nature.
