On the Seine - Impressionist River Landscape Oil Painting by William Baird

1890

About the Item

Signed and titled oil on board circa 1890 by American impressionist painter William Baptiste Baird. The piece depicts boats sailing and moored on the River Seine in Paris, France. The bridge is lit up by the street lights as the moon above illuminates the white clouds in the dark night's sky and the shadowy sky line of Paris can be seen in the distance. Signature: Signed lower right and further signed and titled verso Dimensions: Framed: 13"x17.5" Dimensions: 8.5"x13" Provenance: Private collection - Switzerland William Baptiste Baird was born in Chicago in 1867 and then went to Paris to complete his training. In 1872 he exhibited at the official Paris Salon, then did so again in 1899, after it had become the Salon of the Société des Artistes Français (in 1881). He worked in France (in Paris and the forest of Fontainebleau), and in Switzerland. Besides a few landscapes of Paris, Barbizon, Brittany and Lake Geneva, he mostly painted cattle in meadows, and particularly farming and farmyard subjects such as hens, chicks and rabbits.
