Bûcherons sur la rivière Saint-Maurice (1868) is a 1868 oil by Aaron Allan Edson, a Realism work, held at Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
This painting depicts a serene river scene, with three men in a canoe in the foreground. The men are dressed in casual attire, and one of them is holding a long pole, possibly for fishing or navigation. The river flows gently, with a few rocks and trees lining its banks. In the background, a dense forest stretches up a hill, with a small clearing near the top. The sky above is a soft blue, with a few wispy clouds scattered across it. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of tranquility and peacefulness. The use of oil paint in this piece adds depth and richness to the colors, creating a sense of warmth and texture.
