This painting depicts a peaceful view of the Seine in Paris, dominated by the Pont d’Iéna, with the silhouette of the Palais du Trocadéro (before its demolition in 1937) in the background. The artist focuses on an atmospheric vision, in which light and textural effects take center stage.

The vast sky occupies more than half of the composition and casts a soft light that is reflected on the calm surface of the Seine. The reflections, rendered with fine horizontal brushstrokes, delicately bring the water to life.
