Painting of two flat barges loaded with sand on green river water, with workers poling and a French flag on a mast.

Boats du Rhône

Loose, energetic brushstrokes show two flat-bottomed barges moored on green river water, one loaded with sand, with workers poling and a small rowboat behind them. A tricolour flag flies from a mast beside a pale stone quay, and warm orange and yellow accents contrast with the green.
