The Seine at Bas-Meudon

Félix Bracquemond

National Gallery of Art

The etching depicts a riverbank scene with a wooden fence and trees on the left, leading to the water's edge. In the distance, buildings and vegetation line the horizon, with hills and treetops merging with structures. Delicate lines depict foliage and water, creating texture. The monochrome color palette relies on shading for depth. Boats are docked on the riverbank in the distance.
