The painting showcases a picturesque scene where steamboats gracefully navigate the waters of the River Seine, amidst a cloudy and atmospheric backdrop. Pissarro's mastery lies in his ability to capture both the beauty of nature and the industrial progress of his time. The vibrant colors used in this oil painting bring to life the essence of 19th-century France, with its rich heritage and thriving trade industry. The smoke billowing from the steamboats adds an element of dynamism, symbolizing progress and transportation advancements during that era. Located at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this masterpiece is a testament to Pissarro's impressionist style.
