About the piece

Painted in 1867 by Charles-François Daubigny, this oil on panel work is a masterful example of the Barbizon school's emphasis on naturalism and atmospheric light. The composition leads the eye from the foreground figures and ducks along the riverbank toward the sturdy arches of the bridge and the architectural silhouette of the church tower rising above the village of Beaumont-sur-Oise.
