Jean-François Raffaëlli — La Seine, à Asnières

Jean-François Raffaëlli

La Seine, à Asnières

1894

"La Seine, à Asnières" is an etching by Jean-François Raffaëlli that captures a scene along the Seine river at Asnières, a suburban area northwest of Paris. The work demonstrates Raffaëlli's skill in the medium of etching, employing fine lines and tonal variations to render the landscape and atmospheric qualities of the riverside setting. As a late 19th century artist associated with naturalism and social realism, Raffaëlli brought his characteristic attention to contemporary French suburban life to this printmaking composition.
