About this work
Rhone River scene in Arles: Two boats loaded with sand are moored by a stone quay. A man with a loaded wheelbarrow is traversing a plank gangway from one of the boats to the quay, two figures are fishing at left middleground, and two sailboats float towards a bridge on the horizon in the upper right.
