Coucher de soleil sur la rivière

Millet, Daubigny et Barbizon, 1874

The painting depicts a landscape scene with a body of water, trees, reflections, and a house in the distance. The composition shows a low horizon line with trees arching across the scene and soft reflections on the water's surface. The brushstrokes are delicate and textured, creating an impressionistic style with a blend of hues. The color palette features earthy tones with soft greens and browns on the land, and faintly warm tints in the sky. Ducks swim in the water, and there are a few figures near the water's edge.
