Sobre el cuadro
The marshy borders of the river Scheldt bordered by dense trees; a small sailboat with lowered sails in the middle ground and two boats sailing in background, a village and church spire visible in distance at left. Louis Pulinckx (1843-after 1901) is a little known Beligain landscape painter, born in Antwerp, but trained in Paris as a pupil of Corot. He subsequently worked in both France and Belgium. Following his master, his favourite subjects are forests and rivers, but he also produced figure paintings, genres scenes and pictures of animals. Pulinckx's training with Corot is evident in his evocations of sylvan scenery, such as this one, often illuminated by passages of water - lakes, rivers and ponds, which catch and hold reflections of the sky and the cloudscapes above.

He painted primarily naturalistic depictions of the Belgian and French countryside on the fringes of woodland, in whcih light filters between tall tree trunks. Here the extreme flatness of the countryside appears to be Flemish rather than French. The boats floating in calm waters in an early evening light beneath give a Romantic cast to the scene.
