Boats on the River

Catalogue note

Moored boats lie along a sandy riverbank, a fisherman seated in the near boat, backed by a row of poplars and their long reflections. The trees are painted in crisp, almost mosaic touches of green and ochre, while the water is left broad and grey-green, quietly mirroring the bank. The picture is orderly and serene, a study of light on still water and of the shapes of working boats.
