About the piece

Painted in 1873 by Charles-François Daubigny, a leading figure of the Barbizon school, this work depicts the river Oise near Auvers. The composition emphasizes the atmospheric light of early evening, with soft pinks and yellows reflecting in the still water, while a lone boatman anchors the tranquil scene.
