About the piece

Created in 1870 by Jacob Maris, a leading figure of the Hague School, this painting captures the tranquil atmosphere of Montigny-sur-Loing. The composition balances the sturdy architecture of the town with the fluid reflections of the river, where local women are seen at their daily tasks under a vast, cloud-filled sky.
