Artist, French, 1863 - 1935

The image shows a river scene with a bridge in the distance. There are trees along the riverbank, and a steamship with smoke rising into the sky is featured. The style of the image is impressionistic with stippled brushstrokes creating texture in the water and sky. The color palette includes shades of black, gray, and off-white. A small boat with figures inside is seen on the water, trees frame the left side, and buildings are hinted at in the cityscape on the horizon.
