The Seine at Port-Maurin 1870

"The Seine at Port-Maurin" is an etching by Charles François Daubigny, a prominent French landscape painter of the Barbizon school. Created in 1870, the print captures a serene view of the Seine River, with a distant vista, populated with small figures and a distinctive group of trees in the foreground. Daubigny's masterful use of line and tonal variation effectively conveys the atmospheric qualities of the scene. This etching, now residing in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a fine example of Daubigny’s artistic talent, celebrated for his refined depiction of natural beauty.
