This view is traditionally described as a depiction of the river Seine, but the specific site has not been identified. The painting once included a large ship on the right, which may have been part of a previous picture.

Jongkind was born in Latrop (Holland). He was influenced by Isabey. He lived partly in Holland, and partly in France. He specialised in landscapes. He was a friend of Boudin and influenced the young Monet.
