About the piece

Painted in 1905 by Henri Rachou, this work depicts a quiet encounter between two women on a riverbank, one cradling a child. The artist utilizes a delicate, pointillist-inspired technique to create a shimmering sense of light across the sand and water, characteristic of early 20th-century French painting.
