On the River Oise is a 1857 oil by Charles François Daubigny, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
This painting shows a landscape with a river running through it. The river takes up most of the bottom half of the painting, and its surface is calm. On the far side of the river, there are some buildings and trees. The sky above is cloudy and grey. The painting has a lot of green and brown colors, which gives it a natural feel. The brushstrokes are visible, which adds to the overall texture of the painting. The artist has used a lot of detail to show the different elements of the landscape, from the trees to the buildings.
