Charenton c. 19th century

Stephen Parrish's "Charenton" is a delicate etching that captures the atmosphere of a French town. The work features a small boat docked in the foreground, with the town's buildings and a bridge receding into the distance. The overall effect is serene and contemplative, characteristic of Parrish's style. "Charenton" is a small work, measuring only 3 3/8 x 6 inches, showcasing the artist's attention to detail in a minimalist format. The artwork is a fine example of Parrish's "plein air" approach to capturing the essence of the French countryside.
