Dupré was part of the Barbizon School and painted mostly genre scenes and landscapes. Like his brother, Jules, who taught him, he represented river banks under stormy skies. This painting certainly follows this trend, with a menacing sky suspended over an enchanting bucolic landscape. The path and the figure of the peasant woman lead the eye towards the houses in the background, whilst the sky, reflecting in the stream, unites the earth with the heavens.
