Tied up in a sheltered corner of the river, an empty rowboat in faded white and pale blue waits beside an old stone wall. A willow drapes its new green leaves overhead, blossom trees glow behind, and yellow irises and white flowers brighten the bank. The still water doubles everything in soft reflection, and the village spire rises among cypresses on the hill.
Restful and romantic, it is a natural choice above a bed or in a quiet corner of the living room. It is a natural companion to The River Inn and Willows in Reflection, and it is one of nine paintings of a single riverside village in the River in Blossom collection.
