The River is a 1902 unspecified by Maxime Maufra, a Post-Impressionism work, depicting Seine, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The River by Maxime Maufra shows a quiet stretch of water with a small boat and two people. The colors are soft, blues and greens blending together. The sky takes up half the canvas, calm but full of light. He painted this in 1902, right when France was changing from old farms to modern towns. The scene feels slow, like a moment caught in time. Check out what Maufra did next in his painting *The Old Mill*.
