About this work

This painting shows a small black-and-white boat on a river, puffing out dark smoke from its stack. Behind it, a stone bridge arches over the water, and a row of bare trees lines the riverbank. The buildings on the far side look old, with peeling walls and simple shapes. The boat’s name, *Remorquer*, hints it might be a tugboat—likely used to pull other ships. The brushstrokes are thick in places, giving the scene a textured, almost rough look. Next, check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
