The water is still, the sky a pale haze. Painted in 1892, it is a typical subject for Raoul Edmond Marie, who spent his life at Bougival, downstream from Paris, and painted the river and its banks between Bougival and Saint-Germain-en-Laye for four decades. Marie (1852–1925) belongs to the generation that followed Sisley and Monet to the Seine villages, but his manner stays closer to the plein-air realism of the 1880s than to Impressionism: an even, careful light, firm drawing of trees and buildings, and a palette of greens and greys enlivened by the flecks of sun on the path. He exhibited in Paris, notably at the Salon des Indépendants.
