![Charles-Francois Daubigny - River Scene with Ducks [1859] by Gandalf's Gallery](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tBx3vJDLzbBHvk-2XZLMH_D-Dg8tNyuXv_Rnq9s_mIfYR4Zw2oKkXRySBRCy1XmqGhxMMIiM68Tn2HUImrzbAca_mlrI81aZ1wjisbaEkaMUJlIUD9yF7YnZAMoEqSGg=s0-d)
The river depicted here is almost certainly the Oise, near Auvers in France. The boat in the right middle distance is Le Botin, a small ferry which Daubigny converted into a studio-boat in 1857. He used it for travelling up and down rivers such as the Oise and painted many river scenes from it, working directly from nature.
