About this work

This painting shows a quiet riverside scene with a few small houses tucked among trees. The water is calm, reflecting the greenery and a rocky shore. The sky is pale and slightly washed out, while the hills in the background are dark and leafy. The brushstrokes are loose, almost sketchy, giving the scene a soft, natural feel. The colors are muted—earthy greens, browns, and grays—with no bright spots. Next, look up Daubigny, Charles-François to see how he painted other landscapes.
