About the piece

Painted in 1875 by Johan Jongkind, this work captures the shimmering light and airy atmosphere of Lake Léman (Lake Geneva) at Nyon. The composition balances the vertical masts of traditional sailboats with the textured facade of the town's hillside architecture and castle, rendered in the artist's characteristic pre-impressionist style.
