About this work

A hazy white sun hangs low in a streaked blue-and-white sky above riverside buildings, including a rounded corner house with a dark cupola. A stone embankment and an arched bridge line the left bank, while the river fills the foreground, its surface broken into a long shimmering path of reflected light. Birds fly low over the water at left.

Cool blues and violets in the water contrast with warm ochre and rose tones in the façades, lit by scattered window glow. The reflection is built from thick, chunky strokes of cream and gold, giving the water a tactile texture, while sky and buildings stay more smoothly blended. The effect is bright and quietly luminous, evoking a cold, sunlit morning.
