Landscape with a 800th century French river port

The painting depicts a river port scene, probably set in a city in Northern France or the Netherlands, characterised by typical architecture of terraced buildings with sloping roofs.

Central element: A stone arch bridge spanning a waterway, with sailboats moored in the foreground. The vessels show fine detail, suggesting commercial or riverine activity.

Background: The buildings show a certain urban liveliness, with well-defined windows and signs. A tower or bell tower (perhaps of a church) is visible, emerging beyond the buildings.

Atmosphere: The scene is serene, with realistic reflections of the boats and buildings on the water. The diffused light and cloudy sky create an atmosphere typical of a quiet workday.

The realistic style and attention to architectural details and reflections on the water indicate an influence of the realist school or perhaps late romantic genre painting. Painting measures 66×92 with frame 74×100
