This impressionist oil painting features a scenic view of a row of tall, slender poplar trees lining the bank of the Epte River. The trees, rendered with thick, visible brushstrokes, curve gracefully from the right side of the canvas toward the center-left. Their foliage is a mix of vibrant greens and deep shadows, suggesting a bright, breezy day.
The composition is anchored by the reflective surface of the water, which mirrors the trees and the expansive sky above. The river stretches from the foreground to the distance, creating a sense of depth and tranquility. The sky is filled with light, fluffy clouds that drift across a soft blue expanse, with the light reflecting clearly on the rippled water.
The colour palette is dominated by cool blues, soft whites, and earthy greens, characteristic of the artist's focus on capturing changing light and atmosphere. The brushwork is textured and gestural, capturing the fleeting quality of the scene. In the bottom right corner, a subtle signature marks the work, adding a point of detail to the lush, verdant riverbank.
