In the summer of 1874, Edouard Manet, being on the banks of the Seine in a small resort town near Paris, spent a lot of time on the water, which determined his painting “In the boat”.
The scene in the boat is described against the background of blue, iridescent water, the man, by the way, who is the artist’s brother-in-law, confidently holds the steering wheel of the boat, peering into the distance, and the woman sits relaxed, admiring the river expanse. Very beautiful combination of blue, brown and white colors that were in great fashion at that time.
