Represented is the bank of river, undoubtedly the Seine, deeply flooded, trees emerging from the water, on a winter's day. Clearly painted en plein air, I believe the picture may actually be be showing the Seine in Paris, during the Great Flood of 1910.
The artist who painted this work is French Henry Brémond (1875-1944). Brémond had studied with Jean-Léon Gérôme , Henri Pinta and Émile Jourdan. He exhibited at the Salon from 1894, where he obtained a 3rd class medal in 1902 and a second medal in 1903. Works by the artist are conserved in the collections of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts (ENSBA) and those of the Comédie Francaise.
Measuring 16 x 19 cm, our oil on panel is dedicated indistinctly by Brémond: "A mon cher ami Ja..... " and signed at the lower right. The overall framed size including a beautiful lacquered frame are 24 x 28 cm.
