This painting captures a serene riverside village scene, where a tranquil river reflects the soft light of a clear sky. The composition leads the eye from a patch of lush greenery in the foreground along the riverbank to charming houses with warm, earthy tones of terracotta roofs and pale walls. Nearby, a lone figure sits silently by a dock, adding a human element that deepens the peaceful mood. Trees stand tall in a dark green cluster on a small island in the river, their vertical reflections rippling gently on the water's surface. The artist employs delicate strokes and a pointillist technique, layering tiny dots of color that merge at a distance to offer a vibrant yet harmonious palette of blues, greens, and warm neutrals. You almost hear the soft lapping of water and sense the calm breeze in the air. Painted in 1886, this work stands as a masterful example of pointillism in the Post-Impressionist era, bearing the restless curiosity of artists exploring color theory and light in novel ways.
