About the piece

Painted in 1887 during his pivotal period in Paris, this work demonstrates Vincent van Gogh's exploration of light and color through rhythmic, short brushstrokes. The composition captures a tranquil moment along the riverbank, where small rowing boats are moored against a wide, airy sky and gently rippling water.
