(La Vanne d’Optevoz)
In the limpid clear water of the river, in the foreground, are
reflected the blue sky and the opposite river bank, which, from a
grassy slope on the left changes abruptly, near the weir gate, into
a steep, low, sandstone cliff, on the crest of which some trees and
bushes are silhouetted against the sky. On the left some ducks are
swimming on the mirror-like water.
Signed on left:—“DAUBIGNY, 1859.”
Painted in oil on canvas.
