The artwork titled “Seine in Bougival” was created by Giovanni Boldini circa 1876. This cityscape, which aligns with the Realism art movement, measures approximately 38.2 by 50.5 cm.
Within the artwork, Boldini presents a serene depiction of the Seine River in Bougival. The composition features a tranquil riverside scene, characterized by a cluster of boats moored by the riverbank. In the background, one can discern modest structures and tall, slender trees, contributing to the composition’s depth and perspective. The artist employs a realistic yet somewhat sketch-like style, with subtle hues and fine detail that imbue the scene with a quiet, reflective quality. The landscape is rendered in muted tones, with a particular emphasis on the interaction between light and shadow, enhancing the naturalistic effect.
