The scene is animated by finely observed details—the figures working aboard, passers-by along the quay, and the distinctive outlines of the city’s architecture.Painterly brushwork conveys movement, with reflections in the water echoing the foliage and smoke rising from the barge softening the blue sky. The vibrant palette of reds, blacks, ochres, and greens captures the energy of a sunlit morning along the river. Signed and dated at the front, and presented in an antique Montparnasse frame. A spirited Parisian riverside scene, full of light and movement.
