The stretch of water in the foreground almost certainly lies near to Daubigny’s home in Auvers-sur-Oise. Its surface is covered with vegetation, including clumps of reeds and water-lilies. A woman in a red and white hat sits at the far side, under a clump of alders. This is an evening scene, with pink touches in the sky close to the horizon at the left. The painting is closely related to a number of other compositions by the artist, all dated 1873 and repetitions of this view. Daubigny built up this painting in multiple layers, often applying the paint wet-in-wet, and using a variety of painterly techniques. In some areas he added texture to the paint surface with short, evenly spaced parallel lines – for example in the pink cloud, left of centre.
