Landscape With A French River Port From The 19th Century

The painting depicts a river port scene, likely set in a city in northern France or the Netherlands, characterized by typical architecture of row houses with sloping roofs.   Central element: A stone arch bridge spans a waterway, with sailboats moored in the foreground. The boats are depicted with detailed precision, suggesting commercial or river activity.   Background: The buildings display a lively urban atmosphere, with well-defined windows and signs. A tower or bell tower (possibly from a church) stands out above the structures.   Atmosphere: The scene is serene, with realistic reflections of the boats and buildings on the water. The diffused light and cloudy sky create the typical ambiance of a quiet workday.   The realistic style and attention to architectural details, as well as the reflections on the water, suggest an influence of the realist school or perhaps late Romantic genre painting. Painting dimensions: 66 x 92 cm; with frame: 74 x 100 cm.
