Description: oil on canvas

A small rowing boat has moored under willow branches on the shore of a marshy lake in the foreground of this painting by Chigot. The water's surface reflects the surrounding nature and the two rural houses on the waterfront in a play of colours. In the background, a covered bridge completes the landscape scene.
The relaxed atmosphere of Chigot's other landscapes is also evident here and has a calming effect when viewing the work. One could almost think one could hear the gentle lapping of the water and the beautiful sounds of nature.
