About this work

You see a quiet riverbank in France, trees leaning over the water, a few small boats tied up, and a pale sky. No one knows who painted it, but the loose brushstrokes and soft light feel like the work of artists who painted outdoors in the 1800s. Experts once thought it might be by Eugène Boudin, but the real artist remains a mystery. If you like this scene, look up other paintings of france, 19th century, mod euro.
