The Bridge between Persan and Beaumont-sur-Oise is a 1867 oil by Charles François Daubigny, a Barbizon school work, held at Clark Art Institute.
This painting depicts a serene river scene with a bridge in the background. The river is calm, reflecting the sky above, and a group of geese are gathered on the riverbank. In the distance, a bridge spans the river, with buildings and trees lining the far shore. The painting's color palette is muted, with shades of green, brown, and gray dominating the scene. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of movement and energy. The painting's peaceful atmosphere invites the viewer to step into the tranquil world of the riverbank.
