About this work

This print shows a black-and-white scene of a boat trip along a riverbank. Tall reeds frame the top, while below, a small boat floats near lush plants and a few animals. The water has gentle ripples, and the shore is packed with wildflowers and grasses. The title, *Voyage en Bateau*, means "The Boat Trip," and the artist’s name is Daubigny. The year 1862 is printed, but the work was actually made in 1861. Next, check out Charles François Daubigny to see how he blended nature and travel in his art.
