La Touques near Deauville is a 1883 oil by Eugène Boudin, a Impressionism work, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
You see a small river, La Touques, near the town of Deauville. The painting shows a quiet moment, with a few trees and houses along the river. It's interesting because the artist, Eugène Louis Boudin, was known for painting outdoor scenes, and this one is a good example of his work.
