This oil on canvas landscape painting adheres to the principles of Impressionism, a movement known for its exploration of light and color. The dimensions of the piece are a considerable 73 by 92 centimeters, and it presently resides within a private collection.

The artwork depicts a serene riverside scene, capturing the tranquil essence of Poissy. The viewer’s eye is drawn to the interplay of light and texture across the canvas, with dappled brushstrokes suggesting the gentle movement of leaves and ripples in the water. Subtle color variations create an impression of a sunny day, with the sky rendered in soft blues and the riverbank bathed in golden hues. The composition includes architectural elements, like the church prominent on the right side, juxtaposed against the natural environment. The painting’s attention to atmospheric conditions reflects the Impressionist focus on capturing a moment in time, with particular emphasis on the effects of light and the perception of a scene rather than its meticulous detail.
