Description: Along the Sèvre Nantaise river and in the heart of the historic centre of Clisson lies Parc Henri IV, which the painter has captured in vibrant colours on canvas in this painting. The calm surface of the river reflects the natural landscape and buildings in the background, creating an atmosphere of relaxation. Only a figure in a small rowing boat glides leisurely across the water. The colourful and lively brushstrokes of the work are typical of Chigot's painting style and immediately bring movement to the tranquil motif of this river landscape.
