The Alexander Young Collection—II. The Daubignys
Refined in composition, colour and general
tonality, its chief charm lies in the beautiful glow
in the sky reflected almost as brilliantly in the
water. The arrangement of the tall trees, sufficiently
balanced by the hut on the opposite bank, and
echoed by the distant tree up the river, is exceed-
ingly happy, while the feeling of the heat of
summer and of tranquillity and repose is enhanced
by the animals placidly standing in the ferry boat.
Another evening effect, and one of intense beauty,
is Hauling Nets on the Seine (page 116). Here the
serenity which seems to pervade the French land-
scape at the close of a hot summer day is success-
fully conveyed.
